Non-zero values are normal.  There is no mechanism to prevent
template0 from getting vacuumed.  template0 will get vacuumed once
every autovacuum_freeze_max_age even if no one has ever connected to
it, and that vacuum will cause block reads and writes to happen.  (But
I'm not sure why it would contribute xact_rollback or tup_updated, and
the tup_returned seems awfully high to be due to only anti-wrap-around
vacs.)

Cheers,

Jeff
