Package: ember
Version: 0.8.0~snap1
Severity: serious
Hello,
I don't think taht using this package as an empty shell and a gateway to install
the "snap" package [1] is a valid use of the packaging system.
Otherwise, if this was an accepted practice, we could start to have many
packages which are just a way to install snap packages, which can easily contain
security vulnerabilities and install not free software, specially if the version
is not restricted in some way. And this not generally expected by users of
Debian, IMO.
If users want to install Snap packages, they can always do so on their own.
So please reconsider and either package the game properly or drop this package
altogether.

Cheers.
