When making a backport this is useful as one sees on which branch the change
being backported has been made.  Missing %dist tag is a disadantage.  I have no
idea what you are talking about.

I have started using %dist tags in gdb.spec after 2 years of its maintenance
and I find it useful during backporting for another 7 years.


I have removed that %dist it in libipt.spec to be packaging guidelines
compliant, it shouldn't be heavily maintained package and after all it is not
the only thing I disagree with in general.
