First version of LXD as Debian package appears to be 5.0.0-1 according to:

https://snapshot.debian.org/binary/lxd/

This could mean that Debian 12 Bookworm was indeed the first release with a
native LXD Debian package. I never would have installed LXD as a snap
package however.

Debian Stable aka 12 aka Bookworm has LXD package 5.0.2-5:

https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/lxd

There is no dependency to Snap.

In Devuan Ceres with lxd 5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-5, a newer version of
the package – the Devuan developers did not fork the package:

% apt install lxd
Installing:                                 
  lxd


Installing dependencies:
libdqlite0 liblxc-common liblxc1t64 libsubid4 lxcfs lxd-agent lxd-client
squashfs-tools uidmap

[… I aborted the installation …]

No snap either. Not even as an indirect dependency.

So while it may have been true that once LXD was only available as a snap
package for Debian, this is not the case anymore.

BTW when trying out Incus I suggest the official Debian package. The one
from the Linux Container project came with a huge lot of unneeded
dependencies.

Best,
