For the snapd autopkgtest problem, you are correct and that changes have been committed for the snapd snapcraft file to include libgcc.

The dependency is also correct for impish - I spawned a container to experiment with a system that did not have libgcc-s1. libgcc-s1 is Priority: required and attempting to `apt remove libgcc-s1` offers to remove 61 other essential packages. Manually removing the library and running a trivial mksquashfs case does cause an equivalent failure to the above. Based on this the dependency looks correct but functionally redundant.

I have dropped the patch and unsubscribed sponsors, and forwarded the suggestion to Debian.
