Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.16.0.3 Severity: normal It is useful to write comments in symbols files, but the dpkg-gensymbols manpage does not document how to do this. From the code in SymbolFile.pm it can be deduced, but to the naive user it might not be so obvious that the comment marker must be placed in column 0, without any leading whitespace.
