Managing comment headers of PO files is gettext's job, po-debconf won't interfere. Can this bug be closed (or reassigned to gettext)?.

It still kills my customized contents of "Project-Id-Version" and "Report-Msgid-Bugs-To", which it really shouldn't.

This can be set by xgettext --msgid-bugs-address, I need to check
in which gettext version it has been introduced and add support
into intltool-debian.
Should DEBEMAIL variable be used, or gets address from the changelog?

So, this bug shouldn't be closed now. Who's fault this is (gettext or po-debconf) is for you to decide, of course.

By the way, on first generation, or even every time, it'd make sense to
set those to the values from the first line of changelog and the maintainer, respectively. That's exactly what I'm doing now manually in debian/rules. Other fields should still be left alone, as Branden
reported.

This is a gettext issue, there is nothing I can do except reassign this bugreport, should do it soon.
Anyway, if I were the gettext maintainer, I would tell you that if you
want to change other fields, you are surely doing something wrong.

You may be interested in my modified version of debconf-updatepo, which
does what I need.

I've attached the script and a diff.
