That's pretty cool (thanks, ostree), even if not ideal (binaries have
to be bit-identical). However, given that Fedora Flatpaks will be built
by koji using Fedora buildroots, this should work just fine.

Now, if only the runtime could be constructed "virtually"
(symlinks/hardlinks?) using the installed RPMs if the binaries match...
