Ah. I see I had it all backwards. This is unfortunate for those of us who don't really like the snap(/flatpak/appimage/etc) model where we have to have (and keep current) multiple copies of the same software to get around dependency issues. It also doesn't fit very well with the Debian stable model, if the snap package is coming from outside Debian. Oh well - I guess the lxc package is sticking around, right? And maybe someone will pick up packaging lxd for Debian.
