[Bug 1881588] Re: pre-seeding lxd on Core appliances breaks console-conf user creation

[Ian Johnson]

To be clear from my first comment, when seeding the lxd snap, `snap
managed` is false, at least on UC20 and UC18. I did not have a chance to
test UC16, but it should not be managed on UC16 either... If it is that
is indeed a snapd bug, but absent evidence of that I don't think that
there is a snapd bug here

  pre-seeding lxd on Core appliances breaks console-conf user creation

Bug description:
  when seeding appliance images with lxd, user creation gets impossible.

  console-conf skips the user creation, system-user assertions do not
  work either because there is already a user exisiting in the image.

  the tty screen shows instructions to log in with "lxd@<IP ADDRESS>"
  ...

  since the lxd user is a special case hack in Ubuntu Core images, "snap
  create-user ..." should probably learn to ignore its existence ...
