Comment 3 for bug 1608432

This manifest file would be interesting for more than just the core snap-- it would be useful for app snaps and really anything that uses stage-packages since the manifest could then be examined for out-of-dateness of staged packages. This seems like it would be useful for more than just Launchpad builds and seems like snapcraft should handle it itself (AIUI, the Launchpad buildds use snapcraft to build snaps). Am I missing something?
