Hi,

In my opinion one of the key benefits for users of flatpak bundles over
regular packages is the ability to install new versions of software in old
distros.

For example [1]:
* Ubuntu 12.04 has LibreOffice 3.5.7
* Ubuntu 14.04 has LibreOffice 4.2.8
* Ubuntu 16.04 has LibreOffice 5.1.3
* LibreOffice's flatpak bundle is version 5.2

I think users of Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04 might be more interested of trying
LibreOffice's flatpak bundle than 16.04's ones.

Maybe Open Build Service [1] could be helpful to make the packages for the
different distros.

Best regards,
Jorge
