** Description changed:

  This means that software installed via snap isn't transparently
  available for units to use.  As snaps are first-class citizens in
  Ubuntu, we should update the PATH.
  
  Specifically, this is evident by e.g. $ systemd-run env. Or any other
  daemons that spawn shell scripts (e.g. cloud-init metadata acquired
  shell hooks, etc.).
+ 
+ Since v232 systemd provides support for environment generators, snapd
+ should package/ship a snippet that injects the correct snapd path into
+ systemd environment.
+ 
+ E.g.:
+ 
+ $ sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/systemd/system-environment-generators
+ $ printf '#!/bin/sh\nPATH=$PATH:/snap/bin\n' | \
+ sudo tee /usr/lib/systemd/system-environment-generators/90-snapd
+ 
+ Something similar can be done for user-environment-generators too. Note
+ that user-environment-generators can generate unique variables per user.
+ 
+ Note please use /usr/lib path, as it appears that /lib/systemd path is
+ not working atm. Will check if that needs to be fixed up.
