Erm... no.  disttag has nothing to do with koji inheritance.  The only
time rawhide will inherit a package from dist-f8-updates is if there
isn't already any form of that package in dist-rawhide.

And you _really_ shouldn't be relying on inheritance anyway.  We want
packages in F9 to be built against F9, not F8.

No.  Build the package properly for each release.
