May be to rebuild the package with current %dist and put it to 5.1 release without rebuilding?

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.
