Public bug reported:

During a distribution upgrade, multiple copies of apt are sometimes
running simultaneously, and new apt-get processes are started
frequently.  This causes a couple of issues

1. First, many snapshots are created.
2. Second, the default granularity is such that, apt-btrfs-snapshot 
occasionally attempts to create two snapshots with the same name (in two 
different processes), which causes the upgrade to fail)

In reality, it would be useful if only one snapshot were taken, at the
beginning of the upgrade.

(As an aside, and other than this issue, this package is a godsend!)
