this howto is about installing and using unity8 on a desktop PC, not
related to the tablet at all (where unity8 runs by default and
libertine is already installed and fully functional) ...

what you need is just to create your own container to run your gnustep
app in ....

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yJepibh68YaQijWO3Z3dWTtTTmzXnMmEE8e
swhUXzw4

has all info you need for this without breaking anything or making
anything writable (and thus breaking the applying of the deltas from
OTA updates) ...

note that "libertine-container-manager install-package" also works fine
with local .deb files you hand to it ... (similar to dpkg -i) so you
can use it to point to the packages you created ...
