The point is that upstream are now using the %dist tag ( rightly or not, 
  its there now - so we cant really question that anymore. I suppose, 
like other things, we live with it ) to indicate what tree[1] the 
package was built against. This could be used by clients and users  to 
verify and track the origin within the Z release's.

If we do what you are saying - that is build with el5_0 and just move it 
as is into the 5.1.x tree's - we end up with a package set that cant be 
tracked back to origin by name, and is not even declared as centos modified.

For the time being, we released with el5_0, but I would really vote for 
rebuild with 5.1 ( so we get the linking and stuff right, and can 
actually rpmverify for an exact match ) and release that rebuilt package 
when we can.
