Package: flatpak
Version: 1.6.3-1
Followup-For: Bug #927907

Dear Maintainer,

I had the exact same problem immediately following installation of the
flatpak deb package, in that XDG_DATA_DIRS had not been altered.
Following a reboot, however, both the local and system
flatpack/exports/share directories were prepended to XDG_DATA_DIRS
(maybe due to /usr/lib/systemd/user-environment-generators/60-flatpak).

If I experienced the same problem the earlier reporters did, perhaps the
solution is to (a) warn the users that a reboot (or just a fresh log in)
is necessary for the XDG_DATA_DIRS variable to be updated, or perhaps
(b) so something clever to adjust the XDG_DATA_DIRS variable during
package installation.
