Nothing's defining %dist or %fedora in the buildsystem, so this is
unnecessary. Although, if you're importing a package from an outside
repo (where the buildsystem is defining these macros), then that might
be necessary.

Unless there is a strict case against, I'll permit that syntax, but not
require it.
