Docs gap for build-packages in docs/snapcraft-syntax.md fixed by kyrofa's PR ubuntu-core/snapcraft#246 (branch bugfix/1536659/mention_build_packages_in_docs), merged as commit 4999cfe2a adding the missing build-packages description.

Resolution: closed resolved

Reason: Maintainer kyrofa pointed to ubuntu-core/snapcraft#246 as the fix, and the merge commit 4999cfe2a ('Merge pull request #246 from kyrofa/bugfix/1536659/mention_build_packages_in_docs') landed a build-packages description in docs/snapcraft-syntax.md, with the maintainer closing the bug on 2016-01-21.

Issue body

docs/snapcraft-syntax.md discusses stage-packages, but not build-packages, which makes it difficult to determine what build-packages does. The documentation reported by `snapcraft help plugins` explains it well.
