I always add  multiple release events (even if with same date, country 
and EAN) in this case. Same for the case where each disc has a separate 
catalog number.

I can't stand it when i see catalog numbers like "ABCD2355 / 
2324-3233-2" in the cat # field; although I'm not sure if that's a 
personal opinion or more widely held.
