I guess this is an instantiation of a greater architectural challenge:
Snap is meant to separate applications together with their respective 
dependency chains, but is augmenting a platform where there is a strong 
tradition of inter-package integration through the filesystem namespace. You 
will reach manpages, fonts, language specific packages, etc. through 
well-defined paths in the filesystem. This is (I guess) solved for the 
dependencies for the snapped application, but how do you/can you provide those 
filesystem-based services from a snap?
Are there any discussion of this greater issue somewhere?
