Hardcoding a dist tag explicitly flags the package as being made for that
dist by the packager. That is visible in the file name, too.

A simple mass-rebuild would not pretend that the package has been updated
(read: prepared for the new dist). It would need a package maintainer to
update customisation and integration patches first before changing the
dist tag would make sense.
