I certainly noticed that comment. Had there also been a description
which file to edit instead, it would even have been a helpful comment.
But there hasn't, so it isn't helpful.

Also the comment stated "generated by resolvconf", indicating that
resolvconf was the program that changed it. But as I said it still
happened to me after deinstalling resolvconf.
