Actually, from what I remember (its been a while since I used tools like
that) what they would do is put special comment marks in the code to
mark what it would update to regenerate, and what it wouldn't.

Something like that would also solve the OPs basic problem. Before
generating the skeleton dummy version see if it exists in the user to
edit section, and only create the dummy if it isn't there. If the
definition for the dummy might change based on other things, put it in
the generated code section, with a comment to move it if updating it. If
the definition will be fixed, just add it as the skeleton in the user to
edit section.
