The bottom line is, if you mean "which variables must I set in my distro config or my build will blow up?" - there aren't any; we already have reasonable defaults for all of the critical stuff, so the distro config mostly only needs to change the things you want to be different. DISTRO_NAME and DISTRO_VERSION are the minimum of variables that you'd *want* to set, though.
