The burr may be normal wear, but the dust definitely is not. You need to find 
out where it is coming from and fix that. Make sure that the rotor is pushed 
all the way down, so that it isn't hitting the contacts in the cap and grinding 
them away. The cause might be down inside, but none of this rings any 
particular bell. 

The dust had to come from somewhere, and it should not be coming from anywhere. 
It probably won't stop until you find the cause and fix it.

If you're lost, you can mail me the distributor and let me work it over, but 
that is likely to take your car off the road for 2-3 weeks.
