Bug Description

We see some increased seeding time since 2.68 landed in questing:
- the live system, after ensuring no snaps were started before seeding is done has gone from few seconds to 30s on the same VM configuration (2 cores)
- after installation, on first boot, seeding takes up on the same configuration up to several minutes before firefox, for instance, appear on the dock. Seed was on the same VM specs, not noticeable in term of user experience.

Here are some logs on live system boot, once the installer is waiting on the snap seeding process to be done:

It seems every `Run configure hook of ".." snap if present` take 3 seconds to run. But most of them have a configure hook that only contains `#!/bin/true`. Could we just remove those hooks in the snaps? That would probably save most of the time.

Still we have to figure out why trying to run them takes 3 seconds.

There is actually hooks. They call the hook from gnome, which runs `fc-cache --force`. And that takes 3 seconds each.

I think this is the fontconfig configuration which needs to be built once the GNOME snaps are installed. This didn’t change recently and was not in the blocking path pre 2.70.
Are those the 3 seconds delay between 2 different snaps configure hook? Was something changed in the seeding that made that serial rather than parallel or anything else that could have impacted it recently?

To be clear, the desktop installer bug relating to this is now fixed.

I've also noticed this today on a TPM FDE install, with the seeding time taking just over 90 seconds, which is fine for 25.10, but definitely not fine for 26.04.

Can we please have this bug appropriately triaged to have it fixed for the LTS?
