Question for developers:
I don’t have experience with packaging for flatpak yet.
/usr/bin/installer-dist (virtualbox-installer) is:
- A single, self-contained script without additional dependencies.
- Designed to run as unprivileged Linux user (such as user “
user”) which then uses functionroot_cmd(preferablysudoif available orsu/doas) when required. (Such as to useapt-get.)
Can a flatpak manifest file can declare that sudo / root access will be required or some other suggestions?

As far as I know, everything that requires root, is out of reach for a flatpak
