Yes, I suspect you're right.

The whole flatpak family usually backports relatively easily - they're
designed to have relatively light dependencies on anything outside that
immediate family of packages.

If flatpak-builder is something you use regularly, would you be able to
help to maintain it? I would welcome co-maintainers. I don't really use
it myself (other than for smoke-testing), so I'm only uploading it for
others' benefit. It's in the debian team on Salsa, so you probably have
commit access already.

And, for the more immediate question, if you can maintain flatpak-builder
in bookworm-backports for the lifetime of bookworm, please go ahead.

Thanks,
