Not exactly. Just for the record 431891 is the bug
that contains all the info about the byhand-ddtp and the
progress towards AUTO-BYHAND for DDTP in the archive.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=431891
The SVN (debian-l10n) contains the scripts to generate
the packages and make the upload, although it is a simples
script just as a prototype, there are improvements planned to
automatize the task of update and upload a new translation.

We are almost there. Yesterday I decided to give it a
new try with writing the byhand-ddtp script based on aj
suggestions, I will try to cover the name problems and only
extract files that we know for sure that are OK.
There are a few things not clear for me but I will try
to implement if in a way that it's easy to change:
* Should we reject the entire package if one thing is wrong?
Yes, I will reject the package if anything is not
formatted as we planned.
* Try to process everything in two cycles.
I will check everything and then extract if it pass.
Then we can move it to the proper place, fixing the
name issues.
* Support for contrib translations.
Contrib must meet DFSG, but non-free not necessarily,
we would be allowed to distribute the non-free
descriptions but change it certainly need clear
recommendations and verification with maintainers. I
will try to catch up with this, maybe using a field
to identify translatable descriptions, similar to
non-free packages that marks themselves as "buildable".
I am not sure I completely understood why aj took that
approach, by I will try to follow his recommendations, I have
the idea to make it easier to get integrated and avoid extra
work for him (e.g., rewriting the whole thing).
I know aj was busy in the beginning of the year and
recently was busying working with dak, I'm not sure what else
I could do after having a new package and a working byhand-ddtp,
hopefully with a better approach/implementation we can have it
easily integrated.
I'm sorry about the delay on this issue, I was unsure
about the next steps and the best way to implement a few items,
hopefully after this weekend things would move smoothly to the
archive integration.
As soon as get any news/improvements I will write again.
Kind regards,
