This fixes a very specific use case but we don't really want to add
extra variables to this each time someone has a new use case. In other
words this isn't going to scale.

The idea originally is that "DISTRO" should give a pretty good idea of
what was being tested. Another idea would be to allow the variables to
be configurable but I'm not sure we want to support adding arbitrary
variables...

Cheers,
