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

[Stéphane Graber]

So looks like we're in good shape with removal of "lxd-client" and "lxd-
tools" as only Suggests remains and that's autopkgtest which will be
switched over to "lxd" soon enough.

I'm now checking the rdepends of lxd to ensure that they deal with the
snap as expected.

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.
