I can understand the desire but this would lead to an incredible increase
in complexity -- users would then expect to be able to use e.g. dpkg
--purge or rpm -e to remove these packages, and then snapd would need to
be made aware of changes made via other tools, and concurrent operations
kicked off with different tools would be a disaster to try to coordinate.

They are different types of packages, they live in different portions of
the filesystem namespace, and they have different purposes, so I think
they should be kept separate.

Thanks
