Issue body

I'm trying to build a snap package that contains a chroot. In the chroot are many symlinks. Those symlinks point to dead links from the host's perspective, but when inside the chroot, the symlinks are fine. I could build the snap before the fix for bug #1572664, but now it fails due to dead symlinks. Here is the output: $ snapcraft snap Skipping pull puritine (already ran) Skipping pull libertine (already ran) Preparing to build puritine Building puritine [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/townsend/puritine/puritine/parts/puritine/build/libertine-data/libertine-container/puritine/rootfs/etc/alternatives/policytool.1.gz' Is it possible to have some sort of build option to allow dead symlinks when building a snap package?
