 now that flatpak 0.8 has been considered a stable base
 https://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2016/12/22/a-stable-base-for-flatpak-0-8/ I
 think the sandboxed tor browser should allow flatpak-bwrap to satisfy the
 dependency of bubblewrap again (I am aware this was already present and
 was removed
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-browser/sandboxed-tor-
 browser.git/commit/?id=1bdce61925564ca0c688377c196268ce97b5402b )

 As there is a ppa for Ubuntu 16.06 LTS users by the flatpak main dev:
 https://launchpad.net/~alexlarsson/+archive/ubuntu/flatpak?field.series_filter=xenial

 This solves the problem of Ubuntu users not being able to use the
 sandboxed tor browser without compiling bubblewrap from source or
 installing the package for ubuntu 17.04 (which is less than ideal, because
 either the user is breaking their systems by adding repositories they
 shouldn't, or they are installing bubblewrap by hand and will probably
 miss out on newer versions).
