Discover requires some heavy customization, lacks support to manage some 
features, and also adds plenty of third party software repos, at some 
point when we have a more robust development team we might be able to 
take over more customization to fit all flavors tools, so far we try to 
recycle work that works correctly.

That's an issue, please submit a bug and add details on it.

The Trisquel snap discovery backend/package (and others not recommended) 
removes the content from the package and only is used to avoid breaking 
the current build, it sure requires more work but so far those packages 
are harmless.

As said before discovery might take more resources to make it work as 
desired than we can provide for now.
