Bug description:
  
  [Impact] 

   * The deb to snap transitional 'lxd' package was removed post feature-freeze in Jammy
   * this leads to systemd's 'tests-in-lxd' autopkgtest being skipped:
   * "tests-in-lxd         SKIP installation fails and skip-not-installable set"
   * It reduces systemd's test coverage, which is bad.

  [Test Plan]

   * run systemd's autopkgtest
   * observe the logs
   * "tests-in-lxd         SKIP installation fails and skip-not-installable set" should not be there
   * "tests-in-lxd         PASS" should be there

  [Where problems could occur]

   * The change only affects systemd's 'test-in-lxd' autopkgtest
   * it does not have any impact outside the test suite
