   Authorising Installation

   I installed HandBrake and HandBrake Video Converter on my new Linux   
   installation.   
      
   HandBrake was a "System" install and asked for authorisation once. The   
   Video Converter had a heap of dependencies and was a Flatpak install -   
   which asked for separate authorisation for each library and each change of   
   depository!   
      
   Is that a feature of Flatpak? Should it be avoided?
