Hello

I'm restoring a seedvault backup on a new phone from the lineageos first run setup. It looks like seedvault is re-installing even apps that were uninstalled from the original device at the time of the most recent backup. I would expect it would only restore apps that were currently installed at the time of the last backup on the original device. Is this a bug, or is there any way to work around this?

Thanks

We could listen to app uninstalls and clear the uninstalled app from metadata. More difficult will be to delete the app's APK and its backup file from storage.

We'd want the backup file around for auto restore anyway.

This will be easier when #309 is implemented, maybe obsolete.

Also #750 will only include currently installed apps in each snapshot.
