No, you can run "msgfmt -c -o /dev/null xx.po" to detect these wrongly
filled in headers, but note that Language-Team is often irrelevant,
translators put <xx@li.org> instead of a real contact address.
Anyway I did not read any message on debian-boot from maintainers asking
to fill in these fields, the only ones are about invalid PO files
(encoding issues, wrong formatting, etc).
