Bug Description

latest upgrade on noble replaces thunderbird with snap version.
This package does not provide snapd dependency.
Simple dist-upgrade on installations (lxqt minimal or server installations) not having snapd installed at all breaking thunderbird because of missing snapd.
There is another problem with the missing snapd depdency: the package could not be blocked via pin priority on snapd (when i want use package with the same name from anothe ppa).
In general the snapd thunderbird is big crap (cursor theme not working, much slower, x11 ssh forwarding issues etc).
