Bug Description

When snapcraft doesn't find the plugin specified in the yaml it prints:

Issues while validating snapcraft.yaml: the plugin keyword is missing and wiki support for the feature is still in progress.

That message is bad. First, it doesn't mention which keyword is missing, so I don't have a good idea of how to fix my yaml file.
Second, it says the feature is in progress. That's probably a lie, and always wrong in the case I made a mistake in the plugin name.

hum, right, it's "plugin" what's missing. It would be clearer with quotes: the "plugin" keyword is missing :)
