[Bug 1962154] Re: [REMOVE PACKAGE] 0ad

This is not necessarily relevant.  Anyone can package a snap, not every
snap is something that we want to promote over the deb packages in the
archive and may not be from a reputable source.

In this case the snap appears to be provided by upstream, so that's a
good thing.

The (necessary and sufficient) rationale for removing the package, in this case, is:
- it has no reverse-dependencies
- it fails to build from source
- it blocks removal of an NBS binary from the release (libicu67)

So I will remove the package from jammy and jammy-proposed.  *However*,
I will specifically *not* add it to the blacklist to prevent newer
versions of the package from being synced from Debian in later releases,
if the Debian maintainer fixes it.
