The packages mostly worked. I've made a few tweaks and uploaded new
packages for today's builds. Hopefully they work too :)

I tried to test my packages first by fixing up our build of the core snap (
https://launchpad.net/~canonical-foundations/+snap/snappy-first-boot) and
then using ubuntu-image (version 0.11+real1 / revision 26 from the edge
channel) and
http://people.canonical.com/~vorlon/official-models/dragonboard-model.assertion
to
make a dragonboard image but it didn't boot. Are there any special steps
that need to be taken when making a dragonboard image? I'd love to be able
to test this stuff more locally than waiting for your scripts to churn out
images ...

Cheers,
