Its real simple, they add "--whiteout /path/to/some/file" where the
file contains the normal relations one per line _without any line
continuation_, and poof the whiteout in whiteout.py is gone and
something else takes its place.
I hope this might make its way into the mainstream anaconda.
Thanks...james
