That depends on whether you're distributing one package or thousands. If upstream includes translations, then we don't have to worry about the maintainer managing inclusion of whichever languages people happen to write translations for. But if we want to be, and are, able to easily add extra translations, or override poor-quality upstream translations (all without causing hassles for maintainers), then why not?
