For a data point, I am currently trying to use binary-pkg to create a Sage 9.0 binary for Mac, and ran into *exactly* the same issue - presumably because it (the version of Sage I had in binary-pkg, that is) had upgraded from 8.9.beta6 or so. I guess it must have hit the window for not having this dist-helpers file around.
