I saw after I filed the bug that this also was already brought up at
https://bugs.debian.org/826884
That bug is marked fixed but the "fix" was to have snapd add a
Conflicts against snap. At a minimum, snap also needs a Conflicts
against snapd but that hasn't been done yet.
But my understanding of Policy 10.1 is that Conflicts is inadequate in
a situation where multiple packages install the same filenames but
with different functionality.

Thanks,
