Issue body
I expect that snapcraft will pull files from the site that I choose in the software center, but it didn't. Not sure if it's intended or a bug.
Steps:
1. On 14.04.1 Install snapcraft from the PPA.
2. Try to build a snap with snapcraft from any branch
3. Check the site that it connects to.
4. Change the software source from the software center
5. repeat 2 and 3
Expected result:
* Source should change with the software source setting.
Actual result:
* It always pull source from the same site, regardless the setting in the software source.
snapcraft version: 0.6~trusty~ppa1
