Client rewrites config file and remove comments and other settings

The client has this nasty habit of messing with the config file client.conf. For example:

a) it removes comments
root@nsn7:~# cat /etc/landscape/client.conf
[client]
data_path = /var/lib/landscape/client
computer_title = nsn7
exchange_interval = 60
urgent_exchange_interval = 30
ping_interval = 10
account_name = landscape-devel

root@nsn7:~# echo "# This is a very nice comment that took me a lot of research" >> /etc/landscape/client.conf

root@nsn7:~# grep "nice comment" /etc/landscape/client.conf
# This is a very nice comment that took me a lot of research

root@nsn7:~# landscape-config --silent &> /dev/null

root@nsn7:~# grep "nice comment" /etc/landscape/client.conf
root@nsn7:~#

b) It also strips the url and ping_url keys when they happen to match the values for landscape hosted production.
root@nsn7:~# grep url /etc/landscape/client.conf
url = https://landscape.canonical.com/message-system
ping_url = http://landscape.canonical.com/ping
root@nsn7:~# landscape-config --silent &> /dev/null
root@nsn7:~# grep url /etc/landscape/client.conf
root@nsn7:~#
