Bug Description

(some?) apps have two Deb sources in Ubuntu Software. E.g. GnuCash has two identical deb sources, and two different Flatpak sources (the latter is correct as one is a user installation and one is a system installation).

Please see the screenshot attached.

Once the description is understandable - since you can install a package on the whole system, or only to a distinct user. This may effect the code you are checking out.
However this shouldn't be recognisable to the user.
The user once have decided it in checkbox-style during the installation process, the dependencies or the package installed are to be decided by the installer - not by the user.
