ubuntu-image is a commandline tool that operates on arbitrary files on the
filesystem at the user's instruction.  This seems to be in the wheelhouse
for classic snaps - and certainly, the /tmp issue is very confusing for
users and AFAICS isn't truly solvable outside of classic mode.

Given this, I don't see any reason we would want to move ubuntu-image from
classic to strict mode.  Do you disagree?
