Changing distro features is not something you do on daily basis, but
when you do, the breakage potential is significant, so this really needs
to be robust more than efficient. If the check can be made smarter the
way Paul suggested, that would have some benefit, but multiplying the
variables that make up distro config will make maintaining distros, and
packages that depend on distro features, harder and more error prone, I
think.
