For Grub it is a comment, that is correct, but there is a 
script "update-grub" which is started after a kernel update. That script 
reads the lines within the section called "AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST". Within 
this section lines starting with one "#" are read as commands while 
comments need at least "##" at the beginning. And, yes, this IS confusing 
for someone new to Ubuntu / Debian. OTOH, it is a nice way to have all 
kernels included in the menu.lst file without manually updating it.
