Bug Description
HOW TO REPRODUCE:
1. Install LibreOffice snap ('nonfree' tag) from Ubuntu Software.
2. Click on the 'Launch' button once you have it installed.
WHAT IS EXPECTED:
It should launch the LibreOffice wizard instead of any of Writer, Calc, etc.
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS:
It launches LibreOffice Database.
WHY THIS HAPPENS?
Ubuntu Software probably picks the first listed command (libreoffice.base), as shown in
$ snap info libreoffice
name: libreoffice
summary: "LibreOffice is a powerful office suite including word processing and creation of spreadsheets, slideshows and databases"
publisher: canonical
description: |
LibreOffice is a powerful office suite – its clean interface and
feature-rich tools help you unleash your creativity and enhance your
productivity. LibreOffice includes several applications that make it the most
powerful Free and Open Source office suite on the market: Writer (word
processing), Calc (spreadsheets), Impress (presentations), Draw (vector
graphics and flowcharts), Base (databases), and Math (formula editing).
commands:
- libreoffice.base
- libreoffice.calc
- libreoffice.draw
- libreoffice.impress
- libreoffice
- libreoffice.math
- libreoffice.writer

The order in snapcraft.yaml is different, so probably Snapcraft is changing the order (it might assume that 'libreoffice' is 'libreoffice.

Adding Robert - is there anything you need from snapd to supoprt this? I think provide all the information if there are multiple apps in a single snap now?
