That would be: foo-1.0-0.fdr.0.X.s.rh9 => foo-1.0-0.fdr.X.rh9
0.fdr.0.X.whatever for pre-release versions
0.fdr.X.whatever for post-release versions

Actually there's a difference between adding a macro like %{disttag}
which would be undefined by default and could be set like
rpmbuild --rebuild --define "disttag .rh80" foo.src.rpm
and hard-coding a disttag in the "Release:" field. ;o)
