As it was me really who implemented Finance::Quote support in flatpak, I can share how I got the list of dependencies. I looked at the dependencies for the Fedora rpm for F::Q and just copied all dependencies from there. It's true this remains largely manual work. However to update, I would again check the current version numbers of all dependencies as found in a recent Fedora repo and use those. If we do this from time to time (eg each time a Fedora is released - that is every half year), we can more or less keep up. At least someone else has figured out a working set of dependencies each time. The other option is to just do the dependency updates each time a new F::Q is released or whenever F::Q requires newer dependencies than we currently have. Regardless the option, we will have to go through this from time to time unfortunately.
