The firmware-crystalhd package only has 3 firmware files in it. 2 of those files are now included in linux-nonfree. It would make sense to me to also include the lone unique file found in firmware-crystalhd (bcmFilePlayFw.bin) in the linux-nonfree package. That way, the separate firmware-crystalhd package would no longer be needed.

summary: - package linux-firmware-nonfree 1.14 failed to install/upgrade: trying to
- overwrite '/lib/firmware/bcm70012fw.bin', which is also in package
- firmware-crystalhd 0.0~git20120110.fdd2f19-1

The file bcmFilePlayFw.bin **does not actually do anything** and can be removed. It was **replaced** by bcm70012fw.bin in a very early version of libcrystalhd3 driver (2010):
