I think it will almost always be easier to have separate .info files
in this situation, rather than trying to parse %{Distribution}. (I'm
willing to be convinced otherwise by some examples.)
Note that we also have a mechanism to make it easy to have separate
into files: you can have a file named foo-10.4.info which includes
"Distribution: 10.4" as well as a file named foo-10.5.info which
includes "Distribution: 10.5".
