Bug Description
when building a device tarball from debian packaged kernels (like we do for our official (BBB, KVM ...) and semi official (RPi2) images), we usually do not have /proc/config.gz enabled and instead ship the kernel config as a file in /boot.
when packaging a device tarball hardware.yaml should allow me to specify "extra files" to be included in the tarball so that files like the config, a changelog and also a license (or multiple, in case my tarball contains binary blobs) can be shipped along with kernel initrd and modules.

i am pretty sure we only support building kernel snaps from source with the default kernel plugin (and i dont think anything else is planned there)

i also just noticed that these files are now included in the all-snaps kernel snaps built by our infrastructure, closing the bug ...

subscribing Sergio here.
ogra, sergiusens: snapcraft should be able to build kernel snaps from debs, right?
I think this should be moved over there, but I better ask first so Sergio doesn't throw it back ;)
