[Bug 1788040] Re: Replace LXD deb by snap in Ubuntu 18.10

[Martin Pitt]

Ah, it used to be useful for running the containers on a remote servers.
I. e. what we used to do for armhf testing, they were running on remote
arm64 OpenStack instances.

I adjusted the Suggests: https://salsa.debian.org/ci-
team/autopkgtest/commit/4d4a7d9b16f

Thanks!

Bug description:
  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.
