- Only Recommend instead of require AppStream: Allow distros like
SLE not to ship AppStream as part of the main channel, but only
in PK for example. SLE only ships GNOME Software, which does not
rely on the xapian database, so we don't need this cache being
refreshed. On SLE+PH or openSUSE, we also have KDE Discover,
where xapian becomes a topic (boo#1125898).

Can the code handle appstreamcli's absence?
yes - the py code actually just does os.system('...') without checking return codes - so absence/presence of appstreamcli does not matter
and yes, this could probably be done in a nicer way - like checking if stuff is there or not. But it is not interactively run, nobody ever figures out what parameters to pass to the script anyway :P
