It's unexpected for me, and will be substantially difficult to message ("install this but not on a desktop"). So I think we need to press on this to understand it better. We do want snaps on 14.04, its a key part of the value we're offering, but we can't make that a choice that negatively impacts a desktop.

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.
