What's the snap equivalent of "apt-get source"? Failing to find that meant for me, it was time to start purging snapd from new installs entirely (and to start fretting about ubuntu starting to be philosophically incompatible with what I want out of a system.) Fortunately even with 23.04 (server) that still seems to leave an entirely working system.
