The dependencies are also built by flatpak (so not the "official"
binaries) and the process is steered through the yaml file that you
submitted, right? (https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pull/1277)

No, I think you actually only need "gs" and you can disable a few more
things from Ghostscript if only used by LilyPond. I've tried to build
very minimal binaries via my scripts shared a few months back, see in
particular [1] for the list of options.

Cheers,
Jonas
