Bug#950926: ember: Using packages to install "snap" packages is not a correct use of the packaging system

(FTR, I also don't think that snap/flatpak/appimage should be pulled by an Debian package)

I agree with Olek, Ember (and friends) were always hard to keep floating in Debian, so I can
understand Oleks' sentiment about maybe using snap… However this can be done by the
users themselves, there is no need to have a debian package doing so.

So, maybe, it is time to let ember go and remove it from Debian?

It has no reverse dependencies, so it is save to do so.

I'll reassign this bug to ftp.debian.org in 3 months, if there is no veto
in this bug.
