The separator will always be required (even if you use multiple
%(trailer) blocks), because it overrides the default of terminating with
a newline. And we can't switch that default without breaking
compatibility for existing users.

So I think after my series you'll have:

  %(trailers:key=Files,separator=) %(trailers:key=Duration,separator=)

or similar.
