Wait!  What?
FreedomBox includes Nextcloud now?  But Nextcloud is not in Debian yet!?
When did this happen?  How did I miss it?  How does that work?

I see over at https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Manual/Nextcloud that
"Nextcloud is installed and run inside a container provided by the
Nextcloud community".  Is that a super-special exception for Nextcloud
because of its particular relevance for self-hosting, or does that also
apply to other packages?
