gdbserver in snappy on beaglebone black

[Hans Mayer]

Hello Loic, Gabor et al.

as I have seen in the links given by Gabor and also in the subject 
"DHCPD server Snap App", there is a real need of a possibility to integrate
debian packages of well distributed applications into snappy.

Off-course it is a good think (at least for me) to integrate gdbserver 
into snappy image by default.
But other developers will ask you to add other development tools.
Specially today, where many developers will start working on snappy.

For me the real solution is a functionality "snappy import 
<packagename>.deb" to import existing (ubuntu desktop) applications in 
the same way as "sudo apt-get install ...".

Or if this is not possible, creating an ubuntu desktop application 
"convert debian package to snappy click package" including all package 
dependencies to generate automatically (!) the click package.

I have created bug #1456340 in launchpad.

Best regards
Hans Mayer
