OK, I had a closer look, and now I'm even more confused. ;)
First some i18n refresher notes -
- the acl.pot file is actually only used as the starting point of
a new translation. It exists only in the source package, and is
not installed anywhere, ever. Its generated from the source code.
- the {de,fr,pl,sv}.po files are alot more interesting - they are
the actual translations of the .pot file to other (non-english)
languages.
- in the case of the acl packages, all of the .po files do actually
have the header at the start, with all the interesting metadata.

So, can you explain for me why "the POT file needs a header to be
imported properly"? Imported into what? Its not a translation, so
on its own is uninteresting... I can imagine the need to import the
.po files into something, but don't understand why the .pot file
would be... and, as mentioned before, the .po files have headers
already.
At this stage, unless the answers to the above two questions suggest
we should do otherwise, I'm thinking this is all a misunderstanding
and theres nothing needing to be changed here after all.
thanks.
