how to make a snap of usbutils (i.e. lsusb)

[Mark Shuttleworth]

A snap is made of parts. Some of those parts can be things other people
defined (like a library from github that you want) and others reflect
the pieces of your app.

In your case, just make a part ("mystuff") and use stage-packages (iirc)
to say you want the bits from usbutils staged for your part. It's fine
to have a snap that has a single part.
