Duplicate deprecation notices on install/prepare/build/override-build
Metadata
Current evaluation
Snapcraft emits duplicate deprecation notices for install/prepare/build scriplet keywords during LXD snap builds, adding log noise. No maintainer response, no labels, no comments in ~8.4 years.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: No maintainer has ever responded, labelled, or acknowledged this issue (0 comments, no labels, last activity 3062 days ago), so it has not been triaged. The reported behaviour — the same deprecation warning printed once per part rather than once per keyword — is a plausible real bug in warning deduplication, but the issue is very old and the current codebase (snapcraft 8.x with craft-parts) may have already changed how these notices are emitted, so a human should verify whether it still reproduces before deciding to close or fix.

Issue body
Building the LXD snap (https://github.com/lxc/lxd-pkg-snap), which uses prepare, build and install scriplets in several of its parts, with the latest Snapcraft I'm seeing a lot of duplicate deprecation notices.

This adds a lot of noise to the build. There are no details on what's causing these particular messages so they are effectively duplicates that aren't very helpful.
