I'm having the same issue. I downloaded and installed the beta yesterday. When 
I opened the Snap Store to install Gimp, the apt repo version was listed... 
albeit concealed behind a blank field:

See the distribution channel pop-up in the top-right? The first two lines are 
snaps. The third, empty line, actually lead to the apt repo version. How could 
I know?

I refreshed my snaps to update the Store, and now even the blank line is gone:

I understand that Canonical has its reasons to push snaps, but at that
point that's confusing, in particular to new users. For example, a new
user knows that Firefox is installed... but it's not listed as such in
the Store, because the apt version isn't taken into account. That new
user may then install Firefox twice by mistake.
