Public bug reported:

$ snap install --edge --classic certbot
...
$ snap info certbot
...
services:
  certbot.renew: oneshot, disabled, inactive
...
$

This is misleading. Actually "systemctl status snap.certbot.renew.timer"
shows that the timer is "active (waiting)". It is only the underlying
service that is disabled and inactive - because it only fires when the
timer makes it fire. So everything is working fine, but I think users
could be misled into thinking that there is a problem with certbot
renewals.

Suggestion for improvement: when a service has an underlying timer,
could we display something more positive in the output of "snap info"
instead? Eg. "certbot.renew: oneshot, awaiting-timer".

On snapd 2.34.2 on Xenial.
