Perhaps I'm thinking about it wrong - but the uncompressed data has to
reside in memory at least? Even if it's not "on disk" per se. So having
an extra 100M in memory could still be quite bad.

  Snaps built from deb can't be gettext translated

Bug description:
  Currently it seems not possible to have working gettext translations
  without included a patch glibc build in your snap

  - the core image doesn't have locales definition

  that can be worked around by including locales definitions in the
  snap, though that's tedious, ideally snapcraft would help there

  
  - traditional desktop applications are built with calls to 'bindtextdomain 
("domain", LOCALEDIR)', where LOCALDIR is defined at buildtime and so pointing 
to /usr 

  there seems to be no way to redirect to another directory at runtime

  
  - desktop applications needs system library translations sometime which means 
langpacks need to be included in snaps
