I don't think lxc on Debian has ever needed snapd?

lxd (not just lxc) is now also available as a deb package in debian:

They're probably running lxd (which is only packaged for snap as far as I know), lxd is controlled by the "lxc" command (which isn't part of lxc...).

Ah. This questionable decision is why I abandoned LXC for Docker (initially) and eventually Podman/k8s.
