In order to include a `snap/manifest.yaml` in a snap, you can set the `SNAPCRAFT_BUILD_INFO` environment variable. However, this doesn't work with build providers that perform a build within a container/VM, since the variable is not passed to the child Snapcraft instance.
This should fix [bug #1871770][1].
