Issue body
Using snapcraft v4.3:
$ snapcraft build part1
<snip>
Pulling part1
Pulling part2
Building part1
Building part2
I expect that to ONLY build "part1". Particularly given the help text:
$ snapcraft build --help
Usage: snapcraft build [OPTIONS] <part>...
Build artifacts defined for a part.
Examples:
snapcraft build
snapcraft build my-part1 my-part2
