This worries me a little since you're doing something different to what
the usual case would be (DISTRO not set at all). Is there not a way we
can not set DISTRO at all so we ensure we're consistent?

What I'd like to avoid is a set of "hob-only" bugs caused by doing
things slightly differently.

Cheers,
