Current evaluation

Feature proposal to package tools/imgmount.py as imagecraft.mount and imagecraft.umount entrypoints; it remains unimplemented and untriaged, with the exact CLI design awaiting maintainer direction.

Suggested action: needs triage

Reason: The issue has no labels, comments, or assignee, and its body explicitly defers the decision by asking whether the feature is worthwhile. The implementation remains only in tools/imgmount.py; pyproject.toml exposes just imagecraft and the snap defines one imagecraft app, but the choice between subcommands and separate console entrypoints is not settled.

Issue body

> This is more a question for @upils than for you: > Would this be worth having inside the imagecraft package, possibly with its own entrypoint? It might be nice in the snap to have `imagecraft.mount` and `imagecraft.umount` commands as separate entrypoints. _Originally posted by @lengau in https://github.com/canonical/imagecraft/pull/94#discussion_r1965746785_
