What would you like to be added:

Quoting @ariel-miculas from #3145:

I would love if I could do:

syft scan -o syft-json dir:/etc --file-scan-root=/

and get the distro identification because the files in /etc/ are prefixed with /etc/, so syft would find /etc/os-release (assuming /etc/os-release is a regular file and not a symlink).

Why is this needed:

Make syft recognize Linux distribution when scanning a directory. Currently this is not possible (see #3145 (comment))
