For anyone packaging flatpak and/or bubblewrap, i'd like to point out
this new bubblewrap relase:
 https://github.com/projectatomic/bubblewrap/releases/tag/v0.1.3

Its got a fix for a security issue where bubblewrap is installed in a
setuid mode. This doesn't affect builds that rely on unprivileged user
namespaces (such as ubuntu/fedora), but it did affect the debian and
arch builds, which have now been fixed.

If anyone else is shipping flatpak or bubblewrap, please update the
copy of bubblewrap to 0.1.3 as in:

 https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/commit/da0204f4c81e7cf66943ac07317a48cad28ecf95
