Well, in this case, i had to fix the 'kernel-with-firmware' option to
skip the 'firmware_install' step since
we took it by default - let's say that in the future the
'modules_install' target is removed or change name,
then i'll have to patch snapcraft.

Wrt updating from -edge, i told you to take it from there because snap
packages land there more often and more quickly
compared to the canonicaldeb  archive, so from a developer perspective
it's easier&quicker to iterate over it, but sooner
or later (e.g. once snapcraft 2.36.1 reaches the snap -stable
channel), it will be copied to the deb archive too -
IOW, you would get using apt-get only too.
