Package: flatpak
Version:  1.14.3-1

After a default install + installing flatpak the xdg-email portal does 
not work. The reason is that the native xdg-email application is not 
available, it is part of the xdg-utils package which not is pulled in by 
the flatpak package.

According to the descripion, the flatpak package "contains the services 
and executables needed to install and launch sandboxed applications, and 
the portal services needed to provide limited access to resources 
outside the sandbox."

Since the xdg-email portal requires xdg-utils, the flatpak package IMHO 
thus should add a "Depends: xdg-utils" or possibly "Recommends",  either 
directly in the flatpak package or indirectly in for example 
xdg-desktop-portal.
