Don't replace deb by snap, just drop snaps and provide all common web
browsers by official deb repositories. Make a meta package that depends
on browser foo || bar || foo_bar || and so on as e.g.
https://packages.ubuntu.com/kinetic/jackd does for different versions of
this audio server. You are free to install either jackd1 or jackd2 to
fulfil hard dependencies against jackd.

There's only one thing you need to do. Cancel the original mistake to
introduce snaps. Go back to plain deb packages and you are done, no
workarounds or "bug fixes" are required, by just dropping this idiotic
idea that does cause that many issues to no avail at all. Migrating from
deb to snap does not reduce CO2 emissions or similar. It's not a such
alike invention that justify annoyances to gain something good. No, it's
just plain crap, good for nothing. All those excuses are boring!
