This seems like a really good tradeoff for the moment.  Even if
all our snaps are in devmode initially, it provides a nice way to
package up apps in a way that is more atomic than a pile of debs.

(Now, don't get me wrong, I love .debs.  But atomic update of a whole stack
solves a lot of problems.  We've got the disk and bandwidth, may
as well use it...)
