This commit relates to LP#1966203, which reported the presence of syslog errors associated with snapd auto-import that were not representative of a functional issue on Ubuntu Desktop or Server. A summary of the root cause is that systemd introduced a SystemCallFilter to units/systemd-udevd.service.in in commit ee8f26180d which restricted the syscalls available to udev. However snapd's 66-snapd-autoimport.rules attempts to import snap assertions from connected block devices, which conflicts with the filter. As per comment #6 in the LP bug, the snapd team determined that this udev rules file should not be triggered on desktop or server because the functionality is intended only for Ubuntu Core. This commit removes the rule as outlined in comment canonical#13 in the LP bug, which expressed intent to remove it from the snapd deb. Related Bugs: LP#1966203, LP#1971955
