While it's interesting to see how other distros handle complex integration issues, I don't think this is a convincing point. > Shouldn't the user be able to choose to have a minimal setup without the > support for it? xdg-desktop-portal-gnome is implemented as a systemd user service which means it can be disabled. Or if you want to use a different portal backend, you can customize it with an appropriate user conf file starting in xdg-desktop-portal 1.17 which will be in Unstable soon. See https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2023/08/msg00311.html especially the Github link. I believe either of those methods could serve your need of having a more "minimal" setup without risking the user experience for other people. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
