The "strip" phase name is not great. It's not actually stripping.. it's the phase that copies the content into the snap directory, as I understand it. So it's the opposite of stripping (although I understand where the motivation comes from). See how this command makes little sense, for example:

    snapcraft clean --step=strip

So it might be better named as something like "cast", or "shape", or "form". I'd check with Mark for the best word here.
