def distribution_absent(name, region=None, key=None, keyid=None, profile=None, **kwargs):
    '''
    Ensure a distribution with the given Name tag does not exist.

    Note that CloudFront does not allow directly deleting an enabled
    Distribution. If such is requested, Salt will attempt to first update the
    distribution's status to Disabled, and once that returns success, to then
    delete the resource. THIS CAN TAKE SOME TIME, so be patient :)

    name (string)
        Name of the state definition.

    Name (string)
        Name of the CloudFront distribution to be managed. If not provided, the
        value of ``name`` will be used as a default. The purpose of this
        parameter is only to resolve it to a Resource ID, so be aware that an
        explicit value for ``Id`` below will override any value provided, or
        defaulted, here.

    Id (string)
        The Resource ID of a CloudFront distribution to be managed.

    region (string)
        Region to connect to

    key (string)
        Secret key to use

    keyid (string)
        Access key to use

    profile (dict or string)
        Dict, or pillar key pointing to a dict, containing AWS region/key/keyid.

    Example:

    .. code-block:: yaml

        Ensure a distribution named my_distribution is gone:
          boto_cloudfront.distribution_absent:
          - Name: my_distribution
