ldc being broken is common and I don't think we've done a full removal
from Ubuntu before for it. Although one thing that is different is
that we allow libraries to smoothly migrate out of proposed in Ubuntu
now.

Could we instead revert to an older ldc?

appstream-generator also seems important since we use it to build
https://appstream.ubuntu.com/ although I guess it doesn't have to be
packaged in the latest Ubuntu for that service.

Thank you,
