Flaptak (and Snap) is not the future
If Debian (or whatever org/group/project/initiative that) provides the images has a security policy, they can extend that to the images too.
Users don't run CVE checkers [0], at best they reluctantly click on the update button. Of course the authoritarian evergreen auto-update thing is what actually works in practice.
For example as much as snap's UX sucks it does auto update by default.
[0] Though they could, as files in container images are trivially accessible, after all it's their purpose. Plus there are metadata based approaches: https://github.com/TingPing/flatpak-cve-checker (plus the Flatpak project already spends some energy on ensuring that the base image is chechekd against CVEs https://gitlab.com/freedesktop-sdk/freedesktop-sdk/-/jobs/18... ) of course duplicating this effort, and building a parallel world besides packages is not ideal, but

Distribution packaging for Linux desktop applications is unsustainable
Now look at Signal on Flathub. It is not by Signal themselves so an attack vector exists. The reason I mention it is because the Signal team got the Signal Snap removed.
- Snap Store administrators removed signal-desktop from Ubuntu Snap
-
This version of Signal Desktop has expired on Linux Mint 20.3
you can try using the flatpak version of signal
