It looks like we can no longer build the u-i snap from its git repo snapcraft.yaml file. I don't yet know whether this is caused by a bug in snapcraft, or we need to update the yaml file for recent Python plugin changes. It obviously worked at some point (and we've been using python3-debian to generate the version.txt for quite a while now).
