This does seem like a legitimate bug - the %include directive and the
contents of the include itself should not both be written out.  There
are two ways to fix this, then:

(1) Don't write out the %include directive, or
(2) Don't write out the contents of the included file.

pykickstart has no way of knowing what file a piece of data came from,
which makes (2) really difficult.  Therefore, it seems like (1) is the
easiest way to solve this problem.  Does anyone see a problem with doing
this?

I don't think it's pykickstart's place to decide what to do about
multiply defined partitions.  I can imagine that's useful information to
someone, at least.  And, we do raise a warning about it so you can do
something if you choose to.
