Moreover, it could be interesting to have it with snapcraft-gui https://github.com/snapcraft-gui/snapcraft-gui

This isn't getting packaged given that snapcraft is available as a snap already. The snap should be improved to work on all systems.
Note candidate + edge channels are available, so please help test them and report breakage to upstream.

@ikey I am fine with this, but I am confused because this package doesn't meet the requirements for 3rd party so shouldn't it normally get packaged for the main repo ?
I ask because nextcloud which is just a rebranded version of owncloud must go in the main repo although it's available as a snap... so I getting lost here !?
