nope, snap packages use/consume the deb packages from the ubuntu
archive to build them, snaps are just an additional delivery mechanism,
but very helpful to use applications fully independent from the
underlying system. if they should replace something it would rather be
PPAs.

(though they would not have to use debs, i.e. a snap can technically be
commpletely built gentoo/arch style with all depedencies built from
source, but that would be a waste of time and resources since the ubunt
u archive is already there)
