I think you misunderstood. "build-packages" puts a deb package in the
build host, "stage-packages" puts a deb package in stage.
But I don't have a deb package of mylib-y.
I want snapcraft to build both mylib-y and mylib-x, where mylib-x
depends on mylib-y being installed.
What I want is snapcraft to put the "install" pieces of the part
"mylib-y" in the build host too (other than in stage).
Is that doable?
Or... wait, are you telling me that I can put the name of another
"part" in "build-packages" instead of the name of a deb?
