I guess by <dist> you mean the codename, Right?

If so, I think it would be better to put them in other subdirectory,
to separate the "public" names from the "internal" ones.
Something like:

dists/stable -> ../codenames/<dist>
dists/frozen -> ../codenames/<dist>
dists/unstable-> ../codenames/<dist>
codenames/<dist>/
	main/
	documents/
	...

Also, if we use the dists/* symlinks, do we still need the 
{stable,unstable,frozen} symlinks in ftp/pub/debian/ ?
