One benefit of distro defines in the file_contexts is that we know which 
distributions they apply to.  So if we have three distributions with different 
directories used and two different versions of the daemon with different file 
names then we can retire the old names in a sensible manner.

If there are no defines then it's difficult to determine who uses what.

Now we could have comments, but they aren't quite as good because there is no 
requirement to keep them accurate.
