Why do we need this? The commit message tells me what you're doing but
not why. I'm really getting frustrated with one line commit messages
with no details.

I don't think we should need this either, I'm not sure I like the
change. The whole idea was OE-Core could run "distroless".
There is an error case I dont remeber how I obtained that where it
prints bogus value if DISTRO is not
defined at all but and empty DISTRO var is distroless in essence anyway IMO
Cheers,

Richard
