Comment 3 for bug 1575627

Possibly, yes, but is that desirable? I suppose these files are worthless without the corresponding files in /var/lib/snapd/snaps?

If that's the case, maybe this bug should be reassigned to etckeeper, which seems to manage the list of ignored files itself and not export a way for other packages to add to that list. I'd be willing to be there are other packages that generate similar files.
