This has regressed:
% cat /etc/apt/preferences
#test
% apt-get source apt
Reading package lists... Done
E: Unable to parse package file /etc/apt/preferences (1)
The man page tells that "Explanation: " would work for commenting
package sections (and "//" does appear to work the same), but it
requires a Package header then anyway (otherwise it results in "E:
Invalid record in the preferences file /etc/apt/preferences, no Package
header").
** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
Status: Fix Released => Triaged
