Yes, it's technically wrong to include a file extension, but it is
such an incredibly common mistake that AppStream has a quirk fix for
it and does the right thing anyway (by simply ignoring the file
extension).
So that's not it in this case :-)
(it would still be nice to fix the issue to be 100% spec compliant,
this will work regardless though)
