Quoting the Debian policy document:

  Lines starting with # without any preceding whitespace are comments
  lines that are only permitted in source package control files
  (debian/control). These comment lines are ignored, even between two
  continuation lines. They do not end logical lines.

It definitely seems that libparse-debcontrol-perl should allow this.
