I really appreciate the general idea, but I don't like the term ".Dist"
to much, as it is a bit misleading imho: some people might think that
file might contain "informations relevant for distribution of the package".
I thought about a alternative, but all my mind came up with was
"distribution-specific-notes" -- that has the same problem as noted
above, but it's imho not that worse. But that filename is quite long :-/
Maybe somebody else comes up with something that is shorter and more
accurate...
