codium's apt and rpm packages, as built by the recommended repository, are missing some metadata that differentiatescodiumfrom VS Code, such as the license and the project url.Please confirm that this problem is VSCodium-specific

Additional context
I have first reported the problem to the deb repository maintainer(@paulcarroty) at https://gitlab.com/paulcarroty/vscodium-deb-rpm-repo/issues/15 and been told this is an upstream issue that can only be solved in the
vscodiumrepository.
