Hi Micheal, I also just stumbled on this problem. :-)

I wonder if this could be solved in a very different way, which does not involve any changes to dbus-daemon. I've seen that for bug 1590679 we are moving to a solution [1] in which the snap providing the D-Bus service would declare an interface slot.

Could snapd be so smart to copy the .service file into /usr/share/dbus/services/ when the interface gets connected, and unlink it when it gets disconnected?

Or, if the proposed merge gets changes in such a way that the snap declares a plug (rather than a slot), we might be able to use the upcoming interface hooks so that the (privileged) snap providing the slot would register interface hook that perform the linking/unlinking of the .service files.

Opinions?
