Issue body
Using xenial and working on a gnome-calculator snap with that yaml (simplified)
"apps:
calc:
command: calc.bin
parts:
calc:
plugin: copy
files:
calc: calc.bin"
If you edit the calc.bin script and type "snapcraft" a new .snap is built but without including the updated version which is a confusing behaviour. It works after doing "snapcraft clean -s build" but that's one more command to type and shouldn't be needed, snapcraft should be smart enough to take updated version when there are local changes
