[Bug 1215287] Re: [wrap-and-sort] Drops commented lines inappropriately.

[James McCoy]

devscripts uses python-debian to parse the control file and that is what
is dropping the comments.

  [wrap-and-sort] Drops commented lines inappropriately.

Bug description:
  So debian/control supports # comments, much like bash or python does,
  and comments are good! They help explain things to other maintainers.
  But wrap-and-sort just discards them like so much garbage. It should
  probably be fixed to preserve commented lines.
