[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Incorrect parsing of `%description` block (Issue #4121)

[Panu Matilainen]

pmatilai left a comment (rpm-software-management/rpm#4121)

In spec files, `#` at the start of the line is considered a comment, as per https://rpm.org/docs/6.0.x/manual/spec.html#comments

That behavior is as old as rpm, but, I think it's a fair question to ask whether comments have any place in a section like `%description` that is 100% human readable content by definition. This ticket seems to suggest it's not...

The gotcha for changing the behavior is cases like this:

```
%description
Mumble dumble

# do the prep foo here
%prep
```
