Public bug reported:

Using a part like in the attached snipplet copies all of
/usr/share/fonts/* into the resulting snap. This is likely desireable
for a lot of scenarios instead of listing each and every individual file
under the "files:" key.

But "files:" and "snap:" seem to do the same then. Documentation should
be explicit on how to use them and what the differences are.

Given that "snap:" already exists, I wonder what the added value of
"files:" is anyway. Couldnt everything "files:" does be covered by
"snap:" and, if so why have "files:" at all? and require it as non-
optional?
