After taking another look at my Fedora machine, a "cleaner" solution might
be to just have whitebox-release provide "redhat-release".  For example:

[whooper@butters whooper]$ cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow)
[whooper@butters whooper]$ rpm -q --whatprovides redhat-release
fedora-release-1-3
[whooper@butters whooper]$

This is most likely why it slipped through to begin with, because the
check for redhat-release succeeds with Fedora Core.
