Uhg, I keep forgetting about apt's wildly inconsistent and special commenting semantics. There's like three different ones 😞. |

Added additional header comment file for apt.conf files.
apt.conf does not use # as the comment character. Using # as the comment character can cause errors like this:
"Error: /Stage[main]/base::Install/Package[bash]/ensure: change from 3.2-4 to latest failed: Could not get latest version: Execution of '/usr/bin/apt-cache policy bash' returned 100: E: Syntax error /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/15update-stamp:2: Extra junk after value"
From the apt.conf man page:
"Lines starting with // are treated as comments (ignored), as well as all text between /* and */, just like C/C++ comments."
