According to DEP-3:

For patch-systems like dpatch that require the patch to be a standalone script, the shebang line is ignored and it is possible to put those fields in comments. The line should then follow the format “# <field>”. For multi-line fields, the subsequent lines should start with “# ” (hash followed by two spaces) so that they start with a space once “# ” (hash followed by a space) has been stripped from the beginning.

qjackctl uses cdbs and I don't know whether that is a "patch-system like dpatch" or not, so I safeguarded by putting the hashes there. Given your comment, I assume it is better to avoid the hashes.
