Issue body
The Python2 plugin utilizes pyversions, but doesn't install python-minimal (which contains pyversions). This breaks down when python-minimal is not on the system (e.g. in the Classic Dimension), where a snapcraft.yaml with a part utilizing the python2 plugin errors out with:
$ snapcraft snap
pyversions -d
/tmp/tmpu5xzsumf: 2: exec: pyversions: not found
Command '['/bin/sh', '/tmp/tmpu5xzsumf', 'pyversions', '-d']' returned non-zero exit status 127
