That is because it doesn't know that it should ignore the `main,'
for the purposes of matching. By doing:
  compset -P '*,'
you could make it chop off everything up to the last comma. You
would also probably want compset -S ',*' so that it works with
tab pressed in the middle of a list.

However, in this instance, it would be much easier to just use
  _values -s , 'distribution' $distribs
as _values does all that work for you.
