That's exactly what I intend to do.

Hmm... That complicates things a bit, but I think it will be solvable. If anything, redirection via the *.install files may come to the rescue. >> - i18n -> /usr/share/kicad/internat (probably the wrong place) > > Well, this is where KiCad expects to find the po files.
