Public bug reported:
In Focal, ubuntu-software (well, really gnome-software) has been
replaced by the snap-store snap. If one chooses to remove that snap and
reinstall ubuntu-software, they are forced to switch back to snap-store
in the next run of update-manager.
This is because update-manager only checks whether gnome-software was
manually installed to determine whether it should be replaced or not. If
the user installs it via ubuntu-software instead, gnome-software appears
auto-installed and thus re-replaced.
