Whatever you suggest to change, be sure that the final spec file
contains a real integer, not a macro defined in the build system
or so.

It's already very discussable that %{?dist} is now used in the
release tags.  I know this was introduced to overcome a - what
you can maybe call - shortcome in RPM, but it has its drawbacks
and every use of non-standard externally defined macros violates
the principles of RPM, being able to reproduce package building.
