Feature Request - autoinstall ability to remove a snap such as app-center

[fossfreedom]

Use Case: Corporately we would like to use much of the current 24.04 full ISO. However due to the need to control what apps are available we don't have the need for app-center i.e. snap-store in our rollout.

Autoinstall allows us to add teams etc but there doesn't appear to be a documented method to remove a snap such as snap-store.

I understand the concept of late-commands ... curtin in-target --target=/target to remove packages with commands such as apt remove -y xyz

snap remove snapname ... doesn't appear to be possible because snapd isn't running in the chroot(?) install environment. Is it possible to remove snap-store from the ISO?

I think that's a nice idea. Many things can be managed from late-commands but snap operations today need to be deferred to first boot, which makes it a bit harder. Thanks for the suggestion.
