By not using the macros for packages not fitting the model?

I think this is very helpful especially when it's the common practice,
and I certainly won't blame anyone doing proper releases and not
just a git tag with github releases notes ;)

Regarding naming, I think python packages must be prefixed with
python[23]- and can Provides: the upstream project name. On the
other hand we have packages like docker that are clearly named
after upstream's name, so I don't think that would be a problem for
snapd. (and maybe an exception needs to be granted?)
