I doubt if it is meaningful to have a real copyright notice in an
auto-generated template file.

The gettext manual suggests that those placeholders shall be replaced by
translators:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Header-Entry.html#Header-Entry

and even msginit has an ability to replace them:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gettext.git/tree/gettext-tools/src/msginit.c#n1778
