[Bug 1638219] [NEW] launchpad: remove headers from Contents files

[Paul Wise (Debian)]

Public bug reported:

Some of the Contents files (but not all) have a plain text header in
them with documentation explaining how to use the files.

It isn't very useful to include plain text documentation inside files
that are machine-readable. Such documentation should appear in the doc/
directory instead if it is to be documented within the repo itself.

Removing the header will fix this apt-file bug immediately,
without having to update apt-file in all Ubuntu/Debian suites:

The Debian ftp-masters recently made the same change in dak:
