Did we consider fixing the bug in RPM/the packaging system instead of pushing more work on packagers?
This is not a response to a bug in rpm. This addresses people trying to put macros into %descriptions when those macros aren't defined at the time of build.
Nicolas's argument is that rpm does not automatically detect when he wants to end his %description and therefore he should be excluded from the requirement.
