I find there are two packages[1] in archive now installing real program using snap[2]. The two packages in main are definitely against policy. But the maintainer is moving them to contrib, which has no problem with current policy. Technically snap is a package manager just like apt/dpkg. I don't think there is any benefit to do this. People want to use snap could just install with snap, no need to call apt. Another package manager in subject could be snap, flatpak, pip, nix, etc. [1] https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/cyphesis-cpp https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ember [2] https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/snapd - -- Shengjing Zhu -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIYEARYIAC4WIQTiXc95jUQrjt9HgU3EhUo4GOCwFgUCXkAMaRAcemhzakBkZWJp YW4ub3JnAAoJEMSFSjgY4LAWgxcA/1phh3AZMIcTMQWLVX9Tz4NvGMIcVsJQ56kO NsqGaSISAP41+bj3YJuZpF0lObHcUwQKSo1V7/dN7EyYlgIE1ExZAA== =GVWN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
