Package: xdg-desktop-portal
Version: 1.20.1+ds-2
Severity: serious
Justification: maintainer says so
Tags: upstream

The version of x-d-p in unstable crashes when contacted by a Flatpak app 
${APP_ID} which does not export a .desktop file named 
files/share/applications/${APP_ID}.desktop.

org.gnome.NautilusPreviewer on flathub (which I think is the same codebase
as gnome-sushi.deb) is a convenient reproducer for this.

The crash is fixed upstream in 1.20.2, but with only limited 
functionality for apps like org.gnome.NautilusPreviewer that previously 
triggered this crash. I'm talking to upstream about a better fix.
