Have you added an 'apps' entry in snapcraft.yaml? Some binaries in a
snap are private to a the snap while the ones you want to expose have to
be declared.

I image it would look something like:

apps:
    lsusb:
        command: lsusb


Once the snap is installed it can be invoked as <package-name>.lsusb
You will need to catch up on the emails about `interfaces` to get this
fully working though (depending on what channel you track), but I'd hold
on for just a bit until `interfaces` make their way in to avoid confusion.

Cheers
Sergio
