[Bug 1832656] Re: chromium-browser deb->snap transition breaks ubuntukylin image builds

[Steve Langasek]

The debdiff looks fine, sponsoring.

Please note that there is a draft policy of the requirements around
seeding of snaps on Ubuntu images, which applies to flavors as well
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuSeededSnaps

The UbuntuKylin team should assure themselves that these requirements
are met.

Note in particular if the chromium snap does not have the set of
channels required by this policy the image will still fail to build.

  It is possible that the flavors should switch to seeding the snap
  instead of the deb.  However, it's unclear to me why the deb is
  failing to talk to the Snap Store, because seeding of snaps DOES work
  from within image builds.
