[Bug 1976281] [NEW] snapd autopkgtest tests impossible combination of things

Public bug reported:

snapd autopkgtest tests impossible combination of things

In debian/tests/integrationtests snapd without reexec is enforced

# ensure we always run from the deb that is currently tested
export SNAP_REEXEC=0
mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/snapd.service.d
cat <<EOF > /etc/systemd/system/snapd.service.d/no-reexec.conf
[Service]
Environment=SNAP_REEXEC=$SNAP_REEXEC
EOF
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart snapd

In those tests

https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-
jammy/jammy/amd64/s/snapd/20220525_161731_b567f@/log.gz

installation of core22 is attempted

+ snap install --edge core22
error: cannot install "core22": snap "core22" assumes unsupported features:
snapd2.55.5 (try to refresh snapd)

Which now requires snapd 2.55.5 which is not available in stable updates
in any releases, maximum is 2.55.3

Please rollback core22 requiring 2.55.5, or ship updates to snapd deb to
skip that test case when running with older snapd debs (i.e. make it
dependent on 2.55.5+), or please mark snapd autopkgtests of snapd as
currently broken in britney & adt-matrix hints.
