Ok these paths are correct but "internal" to the Flatpak runtime. I'm not
familiar at all with Flatpak. You have no ideal how can I use them on
Debian 10 ?

Maybe the easiest solution is to build my own Flatpak binary from the
sources but I'm really not sure I can easily grab all the required
dependencies in Debian 10. I will try when I have free time. It's really a
shame that only Falkon 3.10 is available in Debian 10 (and even in Debian
unstable).
