Take a look at bitbake.conf The DISTRO configuration is included via the
'include' directive, which is a permissive include – in contrast to 'require',
which is a mandatory include.

I don't recall our reasons for keeping it like that, but I remember that 'require'
wasn't present at the time we wrote bitbake.conf. Perhaps we should reconsider
that 'include'.
