No it doesn't.

I was thinking to try adding this in configure.ac of mylib-y:
PKG_CHECK_VAR([LIBX_PREFIX], [mylib-x], [prefix])

Then adding this in Makefile.am of mylib-y to mylib_y_VALAFLAGS:
 --vapidir $(LIBX_PREFIX)/share/vala/vapi

Then my guess is that snapcraft will find its way without the aid of
particular configflags.
