I'd suggest to report a bug against apt for this. (Asking for files not advertised and generating such an output is definitely a bug in apt, no matter wether reprepro supports to generate those files or not). Bernhard R. Link

retitle -1 reprepro: please support appstream metadata (dep-11) severity -1 important thanks Hello, this missing feature renders gnome-software totally useless on a reprepro managed repository (such as in Kali). See this bug we got in Kali if you want to see a screenshot: https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=4653 Hence I'm bumping the severity of the bug in the hope that it will get a bit more traction. Thank you.
For the record, it's not apt which adds the extra downloads, but an apt hook provided by the "appstream" package (/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50appstream). Generating the DEP11 metadata is fairly straightforward by way of the appstream-generator package. I think it would make sense for reprepro to either allow one to provide appstream metadata as generated by that package for adding to the Release file (and signing etc with the repository key), or to generate an appstream-generator configuration file and run the tool itself. AppStream is package metadata just like Release etc files are, and if you want full repository metadata then it should be included as well.
Hi, Not only gnome-software but also KDE's Discover is deprived of APT sources support without it, which is first frustrating and second inviting users to install Flatpack or Snap packages which is supported out of the box... I believe I'm not the only one to think this is getting really important nowadays. Thanks in advance for your consideration TY J
Control: block 1034771 by 824521 This is because reprepro does not generate or support these dep11/Components-*.ym.gz files... https://bugs.debian.org/824521 It might be possible to work around in similar to how debian-installer images are download in simple_cdd/tools/mirror_download.py live well, vagrant
