can you do it by remote parts? you can find more info by:

There are a number of existing parts there already. You can publish your
own.
That's a cool thing to know about. I'd consider it, but since the package I
want to use as a dependency is one that I control, I'm not sure that I really
gain anything over just copying the relevant parts instructions into the other
snap package.
The particular reason I would like to actually be able to use an existing snap
package as a build package is really that it seems like a waste of effort to
rebuild something that's already built (and takes some time to build). I read
the discussion here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapcraft/+bug/1616985/comments/5
... and was wondering if that kind of flexibility was likely to arrive soon.
Note, I have a vested interest in this for a snapcraft plugin that I'd like to
write myself, which has almost exactly the same use-case as the go plugin
discussed in that issue. ;-)
Anyway, thanks for letting me know about remote parts. But I think in this case
I really would like to be able to ask for a snap package as something that can
be used to build another snap.
Thanks & best wishes,
