The explanation given in this bug is incorrect.  The unit tests will be
run at package build time, yes; but we *also* want them run as part of
the autopkgtests, because the autopkgtests not only run as part of the
SRU of this package, they also run whenever a *dependency* of this
package gets updated (either in SRU or in the development series).
Having strong autopkgtests is important to protect against regressions
/between/ packages, not just regressions /within/ packages.

The reduction in tests strictly speaking does not impact the SRU of this
package itself, so I am not considering this a blocker for updating
snapcraft to 2.12 under the SRU exception policy.  However, I strongly
disagree with this change and would like to see it reverted in the next
update.
