Careful with this, snapcraft tends to get upset if you mess with its
state behind its back.

Lifecycle steps build upon each other: pull -> build -> stage -> prime.
Let's say you ran `snapcraft build A`, which will pull part A (let's say
it was commit abdc1), and then build it. If commit abcd2 is later made
and you want to build it, you need to clean the pull step (which will
also clean the build step) with `snapcraft clean A`, and build again:
`snapcraft build A`. That will pull any updates that have been made, and
build anew.
