apt modernize-sources apparently discards comments found in apt source
list files, which may be notes for humans or temporarily unused
data sources.

They should be retained as comments.

We are aware, we do not have access to the sources.list parser state,
only very processed objects further down the stack.

But even with access, comments are complicated, because you now
need to associate the comments with entries.
