📄 Description

This works around a problem where Flatpak has incomplete support for external releases.xml files. flatpak-builder will correctly accept these being present as long as they match the FreeDesktop specification but spits out a warning about the presence of the file, while removing it will cause flatpak-builder-lint to fail (correctly) if the metainfo.xml specifies an external release.
