#1138066 Broken AppStream metadata caused by missing comment in desktop file

The sdrpp package has no AppStream metadata generated and is missing in most
of the modern package management UIs (such as GNOME Software or KDE
Discover). See the following link:

https://appstream.debian.org/sid/main/metainfo/sdrpp.html

This is caused by the sdrpp.desktop file having no "Comment" line:

https://appstream.debian.org/sid/main/issues/sdrpp.html

 metainfo-no-summary
Component does not contain a short summary. Ensure that the component's
MetaInfo file has a summary tag, or that its .desktop file has a Comment=
field set.

Fixing this should be easy. Just modify the following patch and add the
following line:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian-hamradio-team/sdrpp/-/blob/debian/master/
debian/patches/fix-desktop-file.patch?ref_type=heads
