[Bug 1948482] Re: Firefox is wrongly being transitioned from deb to snap on a fresh Budgie install

[Olivier Tilloy]

update-manager reading /usr/share/ubuntu-release-upgrader/deb2snap.json
was implemented in https://code.launchpad.net/~marcustomlinson/update-
manager/update-manager/+merge/380060.

The rationale is that if a deb was replaced by a snap in the seeds, then
users updating will also want to transition. It makes sense, but it
contradicts the statement in https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/feature-
freeze-exception-seeding-the-official-firefox-snap-in-ubuntu-
desktop/24210 that « This will only impact users of Ubuntu Desktop
installing 21.10 or upgrading to 21.10. If you run one of the flavours,
you won’t be affected - yet. ».
