Sure; but the original poster wanted to know what was the target to
use to make sure install=/ wouldn't fail [due to broken sets], and
"distribution" does that because it makes checkflist in distrib/sets/
...  (I'm sure you knew this :)

Good point.  The "iso-image" target in etc can be useful too; it can build
a bootable CD-ROM from a "release" build on some platforms, including i386.
