How to reduce flatpak app size?

[Alexander Larsson]

The way flatpak builds in a controlled sandbox, etc, things are
surprisingly similar in the builds even if the context is not
identical. However, its is true, things can build slighlty differently
if e.g. the dependency set is different. If you use the base-app model
then you can put the shared things into one build though, and inherit
the pre-built binaries, thus guaranteeing that they are the same.
