I think we need a recommended way to:

 * carry patches for a part in the snap definition
 * provide wrapper scripts etc (could just be in a patch)
 * trigger hooks at each step in the snapcraft lifecycle

I know Seb and others asked for a patch plan early on, which I resisted,
but having made a few snaps I understand better why its useful as an
impedance buffer before things can land upstream.
