Stage-packages on dump plugin are not included into the snap
Metadata
Current evaluation
Closed as expected behavior: dump-plugin stage-packages work, but the part's prime filter excludes their files unless explicitly listed or supplied elsewhere.
Resolution: closed not a bug
Reason: A maintainer test showed stage-packages were included, and the final maintainer explanation identified prime filtering as the cause. Users must explicitly prime those paths or source them from an unfiltered part; no code fix was linked.

Issue body
If you put some deb packages on “stage-packages” of other plugins, like “python”, the packages are installed into the snap. But if I use the “dump” plugin, I need to “prime” every file inside the packages to make sure they will be on the final snap.
