Just to follow up a little here: I'm honestly not sure I like this change.  It 
may not be used by snapd but it makes sense that there should be an expectation 
that each snap package will contain a license file in a standardized location, 
and there should be a standardized way of providing it.

Related to the 2.26 changes: I notice that as of 2.26 any generated package now 
includes a `snap/` directory, even though the `gui` and `snap.yaml` files 
included with the generated package still wind up in the `meta/` directory.

Is this a transitional change (with `snap/` being the intended long-term 
location for metadata) or just a bug?
