I'm with Olof and Mark on this one. We should at least add the code for allowing wildcards in the SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS. Then everyone creating our own setups/distros can choose to add wildcards or not. Whether we should add wildcards in Poky is a separate question. Though, we should treat e.g. Debian and Ubuntu in the same way.
