The bug is not targetting a stable serie of Ubuntu, you can maybe close it with the upload to zesty since there is no such rules there and strip the number for the SRU?

> Why not --prefix=/?

That wouldn't solve the problem described there where you use parts based on existing components like deb. It's also neither the upstream nor distro default value which makes it non-standard

> Wouldn't prefix='' make things as location independent as possible?

you can still do that in your snap if you want but I think compatibility with real world and what people already know is more important than looking independent...
