Oh I see, that would be the "bug" then. That would be appreciated.

There is currently no version of the portals suitable for Debian 8 stable. xdg-desktop-portal-gtk needs a newer GTK+, which is not a useful thing to put in stable backports next to flatpak (anyone sufficiently change-averse to be running Debian 8 at this point in the Debian 9 freeze likely shouldn't be upgrading their GTK+ to a version with which the rest of their apps hasn't been tested). Debian testing ('stretch', soon to be Debian 9), with flatpak from experimental (note that you have to explicitly ask for packages from experimental), should get the GTK portal by default. 'stretch' is not a stable release, but has been in freeze since February and should hopefully become the new stable release soon. I'll see what the release team think about a freeze exception for adding this Recommends to the Flatpak 0.8.x packages in stretch. S
