Research direction

Start by finding the documentation that describes building or testing the Flatpak package. Update it to recommend the Flatpak'ed flatpak-builder and use the 51 runtime; the issue does not name a specific page or test. Done when the docs no longer recommend the distribution's native package and reflect both requested changes.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

In your documentation, it recommends to use the distribution's flatpak-builder. Please don't do this. We have a Flatpak'ed flatpak-builder that's better tested, doesn't have some problems native packages have, and includes some helpers to test for Flathub-readiness.

Additionally, the docs need updating to use the 51 runtime.
