Issue body
I have git project at: https://github.com/liu-xiao-guo/go-webserver/blob/master/snapcraft.yaml. Previously, snapcraft could not compile a local source. After the change, now it can compile the local source. However, it cannot compile a source located in the github.

vendor: XiaoGuo, Liu <email address hidden>
icon: go.png
version: 1.0.7
summary: Go webserver

The project could be compile successfully before. Now, I am using the latest one from the master release at:
https://github.com/ubuntu-core/snapcraft
It still fails to compile my project:
liuxg@liuxg:~/snappy/examples/go-webserver$ ../snapcraft/bin/snapcraft
