Public bug reported:

My laptop, while not quite HiDPI, does require me changing some desktop
files to launch apps with proper scaling. One of these is Spotify, here:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 401 Oct 22 19:15
/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/spotify_spotify.desktop

Whenever the spotify snap is updated (like it was today), my changes to
that desktop file are overwritten and I have to re-customize the file.

Not sure what I would expect snapd to do here, but it seems like a minor
usability issue that customization should be kept.

My snapd version is 2.34.2+18.04.

The bug is easy to reproduce. Install a snap, change the desktop file
associated with the snap, and then update the snap. Changes gone.
