I think you meant to prefix the comment chars on each line of the multi-line header, correct?
As for preference, I like (1)
;; Package-Requires: ((pkg-a "4.2.0")
;; (pkg-b "1.0") (pkg-c "2.0"))
In (2), it is not clear where the requires end.

I'd like to add support for multiline Package-Requires headers in
package.el. Does anyone have any preference over the following 2
possible formats?
1. Same as now, just allow it to span more than one line. E.g.:
;; Package-Requires: ((pkg-a "4.2.0")
(pkg-b "1.0") (pkg-c "2.0"))
2. Without parenthesis, with exactly one per line. E.g.:
;; Package-Requires: pkg-a "4.2.0"
pkg-b "1.0"
pkg-c "2.0"
Of course, the current way will still be supported. For reference,
here is the current method.
;; Package-Requires: ((pkg-a "4.2.0") (pkg-b "1.0") (pkg-c "2.0"))
