There's no bug, just no specific intent to accept #-style comments
(or any style of comments). This is not hansl, and the packaging doc
doesn't mention comments in a spec file.
Ahem, that's not really true:
"Blank lines are ignored, as are lines
beginning with the hash mark (#), which can be used to insert comments.
" (chapter 4)
But I take that to mean that only complete lines can be used for
commenting, no trailing comments, which is fine. And that did work for
me alright.
thanks
