A couple of packages (specifically which slip my mind) that either were only available as snaps and not in the main apt repos, or had way older versions in the apt repos.

At that point, there's no reason to not run debian instead.

I'd like to understand which packages, I've had no packages I need disappear. I'm skeptical that the packages are actually missing to favour snaps, and not simply renamed or replaced.

My guess is more attention and focus on snaps and increasing neglect maintaining the deb repo.
