I am more interested in why you got the "must be unique" error  before
you went back and tried to add the disttag to the spec. All this
discussion of using "disttag" in the spec i think is just confusing
you... its recommended but wholely optional. I don't understand why
you go the "must be unique" error unless you accidently did something
else that you are not describing in this email.
