The Snowball s/w design team decided to use the debian mechanism for license acceptance of h/w-pack binaries, so there are pop-ups when you run Linaro-Media-Create.
Is this a debconf note or prompt?
When Validation creates new images all the time, the conscious action "click through" must be replaced by the conscious action "I am the maintainer of this Validation farm, I hereby accept the license once and for all and from now on l-m-c will not pop up the licenses in any of *these* packages that are automatically installed in my lab".
if it's debconf based, you want to preseed the debconf database with debconf-set-selections to set the relevant flag before installing the packages. Image creation tools could be patched to allow running a custom script before installing hwpacks; you would pass a script which would run debconf-set-selections.
See also debconf-get-selections to dump your debconf question db.
