Although it's bothering me a to some extent, it's more likely a
question of compatibility. When the RHEL is the OS in question, RHEL
itself delivers the repo in the format, whilst Puppet doesn't support
that yet (as far as I understood in my few days of experience). Thanks
for the info on the bug reporting, I'll look for it.

Looks like I was doing something wrong when I tried that for the first
time. If I do something like this:
yumrepo { 'rpmforge':
descr = 'RHEL $releasever - RPMforge.net - dag',
baseurl = 'http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/$basearch/rpmforge',
enabled = '1''
protect = '0',
gpgcheck = '1',
gpgkey = 'file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmforge-dag';
'rpmforge-extras':
descr = 'RHEL $releasever - RPMforge.net - extras',
baseurl = 'http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/$basearch/extras',
enabled = '0',
protect = '0';
}
Puppet creates two separate file, which actually does makes sense the
way Puppet works.

Maybe I confused you with my question, but I didn't mean to say
identical "descr" and as you can see above, I wasn't using identical
"descr" properties at all. Cheers!!
