Bug Description

The copy plugin is being deprecated, but it was useful for copying individual files e.g.

    assets:
        source: git://github.com/ubuntu-core/identity-vault
        plugin: copy
        files:
          settings.yaml: data/settings.yaml

This does not seem to be possible with the dump plugin.

It's possible, it's just done using the snapcraft core options `organize` and `snap` instead of options specific to the plugin (which is why copy was deprecated in favor of dump). For example:

    assets:
        source: git://github.com/ubuntu-core/identity-vault
        plugin: dump
        organize:
          settings.yaml: data/settings.yaml
        snap:
          - data/settings.yaml
