Snapcraft: arch-specifc snaps on your development machine?

Hi,

since I had a similar question, when I saw the possibility of using
lxd inside the rpi2 I decided to try that out.

For some reason I can't install lxd there though:

(RaspberryPi2)ubuntu at localhost:~$ sudo snappy install lxd
Installing lxd
lxd failed to install: snappy package not found
(RaspberryPi2)ubuntu at localhost:~$ sudo snappy search lxc
Name Version Summary
lxd  0.15-2  lxd
(RaspberryPi2)ubuntu at localhost:~$

Any ideas what might be going on?
