According to [1], using a dist tag is mandatory. However there are quite a few packages [2] where a dist tag is missing. I am curious if those are bugs and should be filed. Or are there any exceptions that I am missing?
Some of those were large data sets for games. The idea was that when doing an upgrade between releases you could save downloading a large amount of data when there wasn't really a change. This cost isn't as bad now and there \ are some downsides to not having the dist tag. When I get involved with such games now, I add dist tags, but I haven't looked for these cases systematically.
