For my understanding, have you tried manually first to prove that it 
could work? I guess you already built snapd using meta-snapd or 
meta-snappy 
(https://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/branch/master/recipes/?q=snapd)

By the way, trying to install Debian packages won't work, or at least 
the installed binaries are not expected to work because they were built 
against different libraries. However, this might work with a snap 
container if all the library prerequisites are indeed included, in 
particular the standard C library.

Cheers
Michael.
