Not on stable release but on devel. What I was meaning is that for
packages that don't need to be rebuilt a disttag may be problematic
since a rebuild will trigger a new version and therefore an update even
when it is not needed. For binary packages rebuilds in general should
lead to updates.

Now, on stable release a rebuild should be caused by a bugfix, an update
or whatever, in that case having dist tags helps reusing spec files
while keeping upgrade paths.
