Public bug reported:
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal does:
cat > "$config_file".dpkg-new <<EOF
# File autogenerated by $0, do not edit
APT
{
[...]
But apt does not seem to accept that. This is exposed by the current
aptdaemon autopkgtest failure in
https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Raring/view/AutoPkgTest/job/raring-
adt-aptdaemon/lastFailedBuild/ARCH=i386,label=albali/ :

man apt.conf also just documents // and /* .. */ as valid comments, not

I think this apt script should be fixed to write a // comment instead of
a # comment. Or should aptdaemon/apt accept # as well?
