** Description changed:

  In order to be able to authenticate properly to
  myapps.developer.ubuntu.com for such things as uploading snaps,
  snapcraft is going to need the "pymacaroons" library.  (This is because
  it needs to be able to get a macaroon-format authentication token from
  myapps, then go to SSO to get a "discharge macaroon" that confirms that
  it actually has permission from the user in question to act on their
  behalf, then bind these two tokens together; it's that last step that
  requires pymacaroons.)  pymacaroons in turn also requires python-
  libnacl.  I hope that we're generally agreed that it would be better for
  snapcraft not to need to embed its own copies of these libraries.
  
  I've packaged both of these in Debian unstable and they're therefore
  also in yakkety, but we need them in xenial-updates as well.
+ 
+ I plan to test these by running the pymacaroons functional tests (which
+ are in git although for some reason not in the released tarballs)
+ against the built binaries.
