No such a list doesn't exist. The idea behind project builder is that the 
distribution vector to your software are the linux distribution.

The tool is made so you can do everything will only one tool: 

- Package building for 60 dsitributions
- Testing of the package in a clean distribution chroot/ virtual machine 
including install/removal to test correct behaviour
- Creating of the special repository needed by the various distribution 
yast, apt, yum etc...
-  Creating of ftp repository for tar.gz 
etc...

is a real tool for developper and packagers
