You should not care about this at all. Either me (for flatpak) or
whoever is responsible for the distribution packages.
Being D-Bus (and running on the public busses) automatic launching comes
for free with D-Bus activation, given the D-Bus service files are
installed properly. But we can do that in a second step.
The more problematic thing I see here is that I would not like to
force everyone to download 31Mb of data for a feature they are probably
not even using
The other issue is that I have a vague memory of Apache + GPL being a
bit
of a problem. So probably the face detect binary might have to go into a
separate, differently licensed package that uses D-Bus for "license
isolation"
anyway.
Let me have a look at the code first, though.
