Actually it's not as bad as I thought. We'd have duplicate entries; the original would now have the project-part and '/' in explicitly in each part name; and the new would be a copy with the slashes changed to '-'. This will allow older versions of snapcraft to continue to use the versions with '/' in the name and newer versions will work with either one until we disallow '/' in part names. To get the 'desktop' sub-parts to work I forked the snapcraft-desktop-helpers repo and added the duplicate parts there as well; one version with '/' and one with '-'. I then copied the wiki contents into a file locally and changed it to contain the duplicate part names as well. Both version 2.13.1 and the version I'm working on in my PR which will be in a release after 2.14 worked with the duplicated names. By "worked" I only mean that snapcraft was able to build a snap using a snapcraft.yaml containing either version of the part name.
