you can keep that line there (months later that meta-data Will save you
a lot of headaches!), just use skip=1 or start the line with a '#'
character to tell v.in.ascii it shouldn't count that line as data.

skip=1 has the advantage of saving the skipped header lines into the
vector map's metadata for later reference.
