[Bug 1650389] [NEW] Installing snapd on 14.04.5 desktop downgrades xorg et al.

[Thomas Voß]

Public bug reported:

When trying to install the latest snapd on a 14.04.5 desktop image, the
installation of systemd (as a dependency of snapd) triggers a whole
bunch of downgrades as systemd-shim is removed and replaced with
systemd.

We have to adjust the packaging such that installation of systemd does
not trigger such behavior for packages depending on systemd-shim in
trusty.
