Issue body
The last few automatic builds on snapcraft.io of my snippetpixie snap have been flagged for manual review each time because the resulting meta/snap.yaml has the `passthrough` field in its apps section.
Apparently this in the snapcraft.yaml...
```
apps:
snippetpixie:
command: bin/desktop-launch $SNAP/usr/bin/com.github.bytepixie.snippetpixie
passthrough:
autostart: snippetpixie_snippetpixie.desktop
desktop: usr/share/applications/com.github.bytepixie.snippetpixie.desktop
environment:
GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR: $SNAP/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
```
...results in the snap.yaml getting this...
```
apps:
snippetpixie:
autostart: snippetpixie_snippetpixie.desktop
passthrough:
autostart: snippetpixie_snippetpixie.desktop
```
This was discussed and the actual problem brought to my attention on the forum.
