When using the flatpak-builder from flatpak, the CI gives error

&gt; dconf-CRITICAL **: 17:56:26.207: unable to create file
&gt; '/run/user/1001/dconf/user': Permission denied.  dconf will not work
&gt; properly.

&gt; Failed to init: Unable to find sdk org.gnome.Sdk version 3.36

Use flatpak-builder from .deb package, but with file: submodule
workaround.
