What is the best way to do this? I have a 10.7.2 Restore Partition and now have 2 Apple Restore partitions. What is the best way to kill these partitions?

If anyone is interested in doing this:

#!/bin/sh
diskutil eraseVolume HFS+ Blank /dev/disk0s3
diskutil mergePartitions HFS+ Lion disk0s2 disk0s3
exit 0

I capture the old fashioned way, using composer, so when I capture and lay down the partition it doesn't grab it.
