Public bug reported:

Snap development using Mir has been using the "stable phone overlay" PPA
which is both inconvenient and a legacy of the cancelled Unity8 project.

It would greatly simplify things if Mir were updated in the Xenial
archive.

Mir has two categories of dependent project:

  1 packages related to Unity8 (and unity-system-compositor)
  2 toolkits and other "clients" of Mir

We should remove the first category as it is not helpful to carry these
in the LTS.

The second category is dependent only on libmirclient which is ABI
stable
