I think this behaviour is unlikely to change unless you report a bug
about it.
Having said that, I am not sure how the complaint could be addressed
since from what I understand you are basically asking for otherwise
valid but commented-out sources.list lines to be converted into inactive
deb822 files, which seems like a big request.
Maybe you would settle for the upgrade process just detecting comments
in the sources.list files and giving a warning like "all comments will
be discarded"? A downside being that a great many such files do have
comments. But, probably best discussed in a bug report about the
behaviour you do not like.
Thanks,
Andy
