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

[Chad Young]

Thanks David

I am off to a good start now. Below is the actual text in the file. There
is a still one issue, the files were not added to the path. I will take a
stab at figuring out the path part :)


  7 icon: icon.png # A path to an icon for the package
  8
  9 parts:
 10     utilities:
 11         plugin: nil
 12         stage-packages:
 13             - usbutils
