Bug#861113: unblock: flatpak/0.8.5-2



Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Please unblock package flatpak. This adds the necessary Recommends on an
implementation of xdg-desktop-portal-backend so that non-trivial sandboxed
can reach outside the sandbox, with user confirmation. (#861068)

In particular, for file-oriented apps this makes File->Save As... and
File->Open... work as intended, with a GTK dialog outside the sandbox
prompting the user for the desired file, then providing access to that
single file inside the sandbox.

xdg-desktop-portal-gtk is the only implementation so far. I expect that
a Qt/KDE implementation will probably be packaged in buster; it is harmless
to have more than one installed, and the most appropriate for the current
desktop environment will be chosen.

unblock flatpak/0.8.5-2

Thanks,
    S
