package: Prevent freedombox's deps from removal during app uninstall
- If an app declares dependency on package that is also a dependency for
freedombox, then during the app's uninstall, the dependency is attempt to be
removed and will fail (because freedombox package will be held state).

- Add freedombox (and thus its dependencies) to the list packages that should be
removed from list of packages to be removed during app uninstall.

- In test case, update list of packages attempted removal as the 'freedombox'
package is installed only in some environments.

Tests:

- Uninstall janus works. Log messages show that libjs-bootstrap5 and
node-popper2 are in the list of packages originally set to removed during app
uninstall but are later filtered out.

- Run pytest with 'freedombox' package installed and ensure all tests pass.

FreedomBox Service (Plinth)

The core functionality and web front-end of FreedomBox.

Description

FreedomBox is a community project to develop, design and promote personal servers running free software for private, personal communications. It is a networking appliance designed to allow interfacing with the rest of the Internet under conditions of protected privacy and data security. It hosts applications such as blog, wiki, website, social network, email, web proxy and a Tor relay, on a device that can replace your Wi-Fi router, so that your data stays with you.

This module, called FreedomBox Service and also know as Plinth, is the core functionality and web interface to the functions of the FreedomBox. It is extensible and provides various applications of FreedomBox as modules. Each module or application provides simplified user interface to control the underlying functionality. As FreedomBox can act as a wireless router, it is possible to configure networking. It also allows configuration of basic system parameters such as time zone, hostname and automatic upgrades.

You can find more information about FreedomBox Service (Plinth) on the Plinth Wiki page, the FreedomBox Wiki and the FreedomBox Manual.

Getting Started

To have a running FreedomBox, first install Debian (Buster or higher) on a clean machine. Then run:

$ sudo apt install freedombox

Full instructions are available on FreedomBox Manual's QuickStart page.

For instructions on running the service on a local machine from source code, see INSTALL.md. For instructions on setting up for development purposes, see HACKING.md.
