Public bug reported:

Availability

Required for snaps.

Security

No known security issues, but due to the nature of this package, a security 
review is probably needed.

the build).

No autopkgtests yet, but they have just been added to the version
pending in Debian's NEW queue.

Dependencies
============
No universe binary dependencies

Standards compliance
====================
4.1.3

debhelper compat 11, dh 7 style simple rules

Maintenance

Well-maintained in Debian by Simon McVittie (Debian's Flatpak maintainer). 
Team-maintained.

Background information
======================
xdg-desktop-portal was originally created to allow Flatpak apps to request 
access outside the sandbox. It's useful technology that can be used by Snap 
too, which simplifies work for app developers to support both next generation 
packaging formats. For instance, see 
https://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2018/02/14/moving-a-portal/

We'll need a MIR for xdg-desktop-portal-gtk too, the GTK+ frontend.
(There is also a xdg-desktop-portal-kde.)

Presumably, we'll want to backport this package to be a snap dependency
in 16.04 LTS (maybe 14.04 LTS too).
