maybe drop firefox? it's large, has many interfaces and for sure will pull in additional content snap dependencies

Can do, if its ok, will wait a bit to gather more input on what constitutes a solid check for interface "migration".

On classic systems, auto install snapd as prerequisite for any snap that is not os, base, kernel, gadget or snapd.
Previously it was only installed on systems without core, leaving a small amount of systems with snapd deb + core - inconsistent with the majority of systems in terms of re-execution and upgrade path.
The change triggered an explosion of unit test failures. The most efficient approach for addressing this was to install snapd as part of the base test (prevents many breakages) and remove it where required (only a few places).
This mirrors the spread change: #14294
Jira: SNAPDENG-24011
This change overlaps with existing experimental feature: https://github.com/canonical/snapd/blob/master/overlord/snapstate/snapmgr.go#L1167
We should consider deprecating this in a followup.
