So I /think/ it would be a weird design to expect all distros use the
same package sets (for instance, doesn't that suggest that the seeds
would tend to be the same between them?), and given the fact that
derived distros may want to reuse Ubuntu names to suggest alignment, I
think traversing (and IDing) under distribution does make sense.
