The apt_preferences(5) man page says:
Each record in the APT preferences file can optionally begin
with one or more lines beginning with the word Explanation:.
This provides a place for comments.
As of 0.5.6 the preferences file can have blank lines.
Thus, both parts of this bug report appear to have been addressed.
