I would suggest porting it upstream so that your changes get picked up by the
distributions and the phone just uses a regular deb package.

Upstream gnome-terminal doesn't seem to provide a flatpak manifest, and it
makes more sense for the application to run outside of a sandbox for the use
cases it has. So I would suggest aiming for a deb package.

Does that help? Maybe others have a better insight into this.
