What's happing in this case:
1. The apt plugin states that evince-common is installed.
2. The appstream plugin attempts to find the metadata for this.
3. appstream-glib has multiple entries for the package "evince-common", it picks the first one ("evince-psdocument").
4. evince-psdocument doesn't have a type, so GNOME Software rejects the metadata.

I'm not sure why there's multiple appstream entries for this.

I suspect that moving the .desktop file into the main binary will
probably solve this and it seems like the right thing to do anyway. I'm
not sure if there's other cases that may be hit by this issue and what
the solution is for them.

Bug description:
  Using current xenial, evince is not listed in gnome-software. The log
  states it's of unknow application type ... could it come from the fact
  that the .desktop is in the -common binary?
