Thanks for the clarification.My concern is the packages task-freedombox-blend and freedombox that are officially parts of Debian. Do they pull in these containers, or is that done in some imaging scripts external to Debian?
When FreedomBox package is installed using Debian installer or using apt, these containers are not pulled in. The podman package is also not installed by default. This is also true for all the FreedomBox images built by FreedomBox team. There are no software bits outside of official Debian (except for that one u-boot patch for Olimex Pioneer Ethernet issue which we still carry).
To install container based "apps", each user will have to visit the FreedomBox web UI, read the warnings about containers, and request installation. Then, podman (from Debian) and the containers (from upstream project) are downloaded and installed. In effect, FreedomBox is shipping some install scripts for installing these container based apps. I believe, this is similar to how Firefox, flatpak, or GNOME Software install software from outside of Debian.
