But did you check that the snap worked as expected?

Do you mean deploying rpm and deb packages from other distros like 
Fedora and Debian? Those are extremely likely to break, as the binaries 
were built against different C libraries. RPM and DEB are package 
formats, they don't provide binary compatibility.

I guess you should write a class which the recipes would inherit. You 
may ask the meta-snapd or meta-snappy people for advice.
