Yes, because this is the package that provides the definition of the
distro tag. It couldn't install itself.
Can you please explain that a bit more? Do you mean that the %{dist} macro is not
available before fedora-release is installed, and therefore we couldn't _build_ the
package? Because I don't understand why the package should be not installable if it
had .fcXX suffix.
In any case, if there was just a very small set of packages which didn't use dist tag,
but the information could be deduced some other way (from the version field), I think that
would still work for us in Taskotron, we would hardcode the exceptions.
