It is a bad idea to use any macros in %changelog, especially ones that 
will change in the future.  It makes no sense in the case of %{?dist} 
especially because when the package is rebuilt in a future dist, it 
shows "fc6" on very old revisions that didn't exist for FC6.  That is 
misleading and wrong.
