In trunk kf5 we have 1221 gui catalogs, but only 37 german gui catalogs have a 
header line starting with "This file is distributed", no clue why.
Of course all gui templates scripty generates have a header line 
"# This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE package."
In scripts/update_translations we export PACKAGE=$mod for extract-messages.sh, 
but do not use $PACKAGE later.
This patch probably could replace PACKAGE with $mod:

$ svn diff l10n-kf5/scripts/extract-messages.sh

But it does not replace the useless PACKAGE from all existing po files.
