Public bug reported:

Starting with Ubuntu 18.10, LXD will only be distributed as a snap.

Existing users will need to be migrated on upgrade and all reverse
dependencies be made aware of the snap.

For those reverse dependencies, make sure that you either:
 - Use the "lxc" and "lxd" commands WITHOUT hardcoding any paths (as they'll 
now be under /snap/bin/)
 - Use the API and known to look for BOTH /var/lib/lxd/unix.socket and 
/var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/unix.socket

The "lxd" deb will remain around, so it's fine to still
suggest/recommend/depend on it as that'll just install the snap as
needed.
