Bug Description
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!)
