Note that the reason this doesn't work is partially due to https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapcraft/+bug/1857019, which prevents the snapd snap snapcraft.yaml from being updated to "modern snapcraft". If that bug was fixed we could update the snapd snapcraft.yaml to modern and it would "just work".

Added snapstore as the root cause for the workarounds needed in Snapcraft are because the Snap Store does not accept "type: snapd".

The store bug here is specifically about the snapd snap currently having `type: app` and not properly supporting transitioning the type to `type: snapd`.

Samuele will discuss this with the store team about how to move forward on that front.

This is fixed on snapd master and will be "released" with snapd 2.44.
