TIL that the directories that `snapd` binds are just hard-coded, right in the guts of the thing

@SnoopJ
I literally moved my home directory because using Ubuntu is advantageous for my job (vs any other distro), and snaps/apparmor cannot handle the possibility that a home directory is anywhere other than `/home/`

I'm not un-generous feeling towards the Canonical people. Packaging and distribution are hard. But this is relatively important stuff if you want the project to be taken seriously.

To me, snaps are about as important as upstart (read: I look forward to it being dead).
