No, you'd want deploy:deploy-file, however I wouldn't try that with a
snapshot, I'm not sure it would get the timestamped snapshot filename
and metadata quite right, and in any case it isn't going to test what
a user would be reporting.

I would set up project A that uses dependency B.  In B, configure
distributionManagement to file://path/to/remote/repo .  When you
deploy that snapshot, use a separate local repository so you don't
step on the one you're using with A to test the snapshot download.

Now build A normally, and it should retrieve the snapshot.  Then
deploy a new snapshot of B (again using the separate local repo.)

Build A using whatever setting is supposed to NOT retrieve snapshots,
and see if it does.
