My belief that a snap package would be beneficial is what prompted the proposal. However, what I believe isn't important. I've never built a snap package and don't want to unless you guys reasonably believe that doing so would be beneficial. Does the development team and the general userbase believe that migrating to the new package format would be beneficial?
I personally don't think it is necessary. However, if there are a lot of users on other linux distros that would like a package, then we can make such packages.
From memory, my understanding is that no debian armory package exists because because of debian's politics with respect to updating Armory. Instead of just having a debian package and circumventing debian's packaging politics, we can also have a package that works on all major distros.
There is a debian package. You have to download it from where we upload binaries on github.
