On the one hand, recent enough liveusb-creator should not need any
such thing anymore (report bugs if I'm wrong)...

Does this really need any documentation at all?
I think any need for documentation, in this precise area, is likely to
be a GUI bug, but that's maybe a bit too extreme a statement.

Note: currently, unselecting a previously persistent item does *not*
delete the files on the persistent storage volume. In the future, the
UI may warn about it, but currently, I think the doc should.
