Public bug reported:

Availability
============
Built for all supported architectures.

In sync with Debian.

Rationale
=========
webkit2gtk 2.24 will release in March. It adds per-process sandboxing using 
bubblewrap and xdg-dbus-proxy.

xdg-dbus-proxy was previously part of Flatpak but was split out for
easier use by other projects.

We are currently supporting webkit2gtk in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and 18.10 so
xdg-dbus-proxy will need to be backported and promoted to main for those
releases also. (New major webkit2gtk releases happen every March and
September. Once a new major release is out, the old major release is no
longer supported. New releases include security updates.)

Security
========
This will need a Security review.

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/xdg-dbus-proxy
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/flatpak

There was one security issue (CVE-2018-6560) that has been fixed in all
supported Ubuntu releases.

is maintained by Simon McVittie (smcv) who also maintains Flatpak and
ostree in Debian.
