We are using a docker/podman container provided by upstream to run Home Assistant. It is the same case for the Nextcloud 
app in FreedomBox.

I believe there is some progress towards packaging Home Assistant in Debian, and when that is available we are planning 
to switch to using the package.

I suppose this makes FreedomBox a non-pure blend. If there are user requests to have a pure blend version of FreedomBox, 
then we can work on separating the pure and non-pure parts into 2 packages.
