Jeremy,
P.S. Not only is the exact shape of the probability distribution not critical, but it's unknown. Such a probability distribution implies previous frequency knowledge which is unavailable, and in fact, unknowable. This is the major point of Bayesian principles: don't insert propositions that are absent from the information at hand.
