The way the package builds currently is that it takes the kernel release and
distro release from what is installed on the machine we are building on:
1) kernel release comes from the kernel-headers installed package version and is
passed to the make command as the KVERSION to build against.
I think this part is OK since we have the right info in the mock environment.
2) distro release is computed in the Makefile (if not passed to the Makefile)
and is the result of an "lsb_release -r".
I think the problem comes from this 2nd part: we should also provide the distro
release to the make command in the spec file.
Now, can you please confirm what I say after:
the %{?dist} tag is THE way we have to know what distro release target we are
building for.
Or is there a more secure way to know the target we are building for?

As soon as I get your answer, I'll send you the fix: it should only be a small
change in the spec file.

Thanks,
Nadia
