Different versions (ditto for release and epoch) between sub-packages 
are best avoided because they're not properly supported in rpm, you'll 
run into all sorts of strange quirks and artifacts with them.

You're misunderstanding the bug. Obviously there can be multiple 
%description sections in a spec due to sub-packages, the bug is about 
rpm not complaining about multiple %descriptions for a given (sub-)package.
