Snap seems to be a promising package format. Will Deepin support it?

Deepin is based on Debian, so I think Snap packages will be supported.
I saw this interesting article:
- Universal “snap” packages launch on multiple Linux distros @Ubuntu.com

I really like Snap because they solve dependencies issues!

Snap is already in SID (unstable debian).

Nice, so we can install SNAP packages on Deepin 15.2?
For a test, in order to install Libre Office Snap version on Ubuntu:

wget http://people.canonical.com/~bjoern/snappy/libreoffice_5.2.0.0.beta2_amd64.snap{,.sha512sum} sha512sum -c libreoffice_5.2.0.0.beta2_amd64.snap.sha512sum && sudo snap install --devmode libreoffice_5.2.0.0.beta2_amd64.snap /snap/bin/libreoffice

Copy the Code

I installed snap from the unstable (SID) debian, it works as expected. I like the idea. Already installed telegram and vlc, vlc is not working so I replaced it with deepin version. Other than that, all ok.
