Bug Description

The column 'distrorelease' in the build table is confusingly named.

Ideally we should call it something which reflects the fact that it is the distroarchrelease that the packages were built on, but not necessarily that which they were published in.

E.g. call is distroarchrelease_builtfor or builtfor_distroarchrelease or something.

Even distroarchrelease would be better than distrorelease. I'd go for distroarchrelease_built_for.

Well, I don't think that the IBuild.distroarchrelease & distrorelease are that confusing.
We could update the attribute descriptions to provide a more accurate documentation, but don't think that the renaming is necessary.
