As it stands now, we build everything assuming a `/usr` prefix, and flatpak 
apps need an `/app` prefix. So we need to build them twice. Another (small) 
inconvenience is that the flatpak buildstream plugin is kind of hard to use 
because one needs to write the metadata file manually.

Another option I'm starting to consider is to only build them as flatpaks (and 
preinstall them as flatpaks in our upcoming OS images). This seems the logical 
next step to me in the context of
