This is just a meta list of all the packages that appear to have multiple appstream data's provided and thus Software Center may report them inaccurately:

Issue - Package Name - Description

• [x] T3720 - zathura FIXED - zathura reports as PDF Plugin for Zathura
• [x] T4320 - digikam FIXED- digikam reports as Showfoto
• [x] ~~T4283~~ #1 - gnome-shell-extensions FIXED - gnome-shell-extensions reports as Workspace Indicator
• [x] ~~T4469~~ #4 - gedit-plugins - FIXED gedit-plugins reports as Word completion
• [x] ~~T5199~~ #17 - Parlatype FIXED - Displays as a GNOME extension.'
• [ ] ~~T5385~~ #78 - chocolate-doom - Reports as Chocolate Strife
• [ ] #1364 - Calibre has wacky appstream data

Verified that the apps not marked as fixed are still displaying incorrect information in Software Center

#78 - chocolate-doom - Reports as Chocolate Strife

The approach in the linked issue is actually a good one.
