    Hey @jmschrack - I'm not sure we want to allow packaging without building 
in this script. This allows for some confusing outcomes, such as a user 
compiles Spark for one version, then they call `make-distribution` with 
different maven flags, and the naming of the distribution and notes are 
inconsistent with the actual binaries. Since make-distribution takes identical 
flags to the build, I'd rather just force people to build and package 
atomically. So I'd prefer to close this issue for now and feel free to re-open 
if you'd like to discuss further.
