My guess: you will wait for the debian packages that you included to update (and those updates to be distributed, like every other user). Do you agree, that this is an additional step, that is only delaying the deployment of security fixes to users?

You have fallen prey to the snappy advertising. Any compromised application endangers the user's data - which is the relevant part. A compromised debian package can affect OS and other installed stuff, but that's what package signing is for. A compromised application is a problem with or without snappy, since history shows, that there are always unfixed privilege escalation bugs around somewhere.
