on a side note this is also not necessary, all your services can run as
root thanks to confinement, the user will not matter since other
processes can only access your services through interfaces that shield
them. running as root is fine here ... 

(that doesnt mean that we wont ever add such a feature (especially for
lxd who needs it for HW interaction outside of the snap, but this is a
very special case), but for non lxd snaps this is really not needed
since the user would be useless anyway)
