The user should select the hwpack that corresponds to the revision of the Snowball targeted. That is lt-snowball-v2 or lt-snowball-v3. The combined hwpack which is simply called lt-snowball contains packages for both v2 and v3 and then the files clash on install.
I agreed a while back to investigate how much work it would be to make l-m-c handle duplicates of packages like this. I wanted more info on the changes needed for Snowball V5 though, so we don't fix the problem now and need another fix when the new revision arrive.
So this kind of hwpack is not supported by the tools. We would need to implement the snowball_v2_emmc and snowball_v3_mmc --dev options for this to work. I think a prerequisite would be for the different startupfiles debs to install the files to different paths so that they do not clash on install.
