Hardcoding the distribution target in your spec files prevent you from
rebuilding it for different distributions. I prefer Bucan's idea in this
regard.
Anyway, i don't think messing with tags having already a well-defined
semantics (such as release number or epoch) to workaround something not
supported by rpm itself is really a good idea. There is far too much risk to
break something for few added value IMHO.
