The core issue is that the epoch on the transitional snap package isn't
a genuine version marker — it's an artificial number bump whose only
function is to defeat pin-priority and force the snap wrapper back in,
regardless of what the user has explicitly configured. Combined with
unattended-upgrades not respecting that configuration, the result is a
package silently reinstalling itself against clearly stated user
preference, with no prompt, no notification, nothing. That's not a
version conflict, that's a deliberate override mechanism dressed up as
one. I'd expect this kind of forced behavior from a proprietary
platform, not from a Linux distribution.
