Current evaluation

Feature request to allow plugins to inject stage-packages/slices merged with user-provided ones, motivated by Rockcraft use case. No labels, no assignee, last activity ~18 months ago, feature not yet implemented in codebase.

Suggested action: needs triage

Reason: Filed by maintainer lengau as an enhancement but has no labels, no assignee, and only one comment (from vpa1977, 2024-08-29) suggesting a related but separate enhancement for custom package sources. Code inspection confirms no plugin mechanism for adding stage-packages exists (part_handler.py:1289 only reads self._part.spec.stage_packages). Needs labelling as enhancement and prioritisation.
