If I recall correctly, this had something to do with warnings or error
messages I got from autoconf because AC_SUBST([DISTRO]) wouldn't be run.

And DISTRO is still useful when building the Debian packages: I do build
libguestfs with "--disable-appliance", but appliance/packagelist,
appliance/excludelist, and appliance/make.sh are still used: They end up
as part of the libguestfs0 package and are used to set up the supermin
appliance at install time (or later).
