And I suppose for Mobian, flatpak is installed by default to avoid breaking that, and because it's useful for many people -- for a while, for example, Fractal (a Matrix client) was only distributed as a flatpak (something I think the Debian team has remediated )
That's pretty weird! For me it's a big flaw. Flatpak is a less secure alternative to apt. I checked the phosh package in Debian and I don't see flatpak as a dependency. So either I missed it or it must be possible to use Phosh without Flatpak.
