The simple and obvious fix is to not show the values as comments ...
I agree.
A good way how to describe a config variable is present for listen_addresses, which clearly states the default value. Could be even shorter, e.g.
port = 5432 # default: 5432
To solve the "commenting out a setting doesn't return to default' problem a magic word 'default' could be introduced, forcing to load the default setting.
How about *requiring* to set any variable, at least to xxx='default'? This would remove any ambiguities (and force to review postgresql.conf after upgrading, which is a good idea anyway).
