This is indeed confusing, but I can imagine it being useful to still
show the version of the snap-- is there a benefit to being able to
sideload the same version over and over again? How does one now which
version was actually sideloaded? Maybe I'm missing something here.

Perhaps showing something like "1.0.1 (sideload)" or something would be
even more helpful?
