I do not believe there is any path to successfully install snapd on a
14.04 desktop system. Only one of systemd and systemd-shim can own the
systemd dbus services; systemd doesn't implement them in a way that will
work with upstart as pid1, which means we need systemd-shim to own them
so that the desktop consumers of the services will function; and it's
intrusive surgery to make systemd work without registering them.
This was a known limitation when the SRU went through, and it was
allowed because the understood target for snapd on 14.04 was
server/cloud environments, not desktops. Has that changed?

Title:
Installing snapd on 14.04.5 desktop downgrades xorg et al.
Status in Snappy:
Confirmed
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
When trying to install the latest snapd on a 14.04.5 desktop image,
the installation of systemd (as a dependency of snapd) triggers a
whole bunch of downgrades as systemd-shim is removed and replaced with
systemd.
We have to adjust the packaging such that installation of systemd does
not trigger such behavior for packages depending on systemd-shim in
trusty.
