There are 2 parsing problems triggered by adding disttag:
1) how to represent distag in dependencies (omv used a ':' separator)
2) how to represent distag in package file names (omv used a '-' separator)
There is also the question of precedence in version comparison, whether disttag
should be compared first, or last, or ignored.
One also has to worry about mixed mode comparisons, like EVR compared to EVRD
(or DEVR), etc.
Adding a rpmlib(...) tracing dependency for disttag has multiple problems, not
the least of which is that a package rebuild is needed to add/remove a disttag
tracking dependency.
