I can't speak to the lack of coordination, but I can say that flavors are
NOT meant to be making their own seed changes for this.  The transition was
done in the desktop-common seed and, in fact, was causing cross-flavor build
failures when the seed change originally went through before all of the
snaps were available on the required channels.

Evidently there is something different in the way desktop-common is being
handled for Edubuntu and Ubuntu Studio, that it's not being seeded there.
