That would better, but I still think it's a bad idea, because there is
no meaningful way to integrate the translations yet.

Once dpkg permits localized package descriptions, it would be
appropriate.  Until then, I think the DDTS should queue up the
translations, and, after dpkg supports localized package descriptions,
*ONE* bug report per *SOURCE* package should be filed as a wishlist
item.

In fact, it would probably be a good idea if all translation updates
were queued and sent out at intervals (say, once per month or so)
instead of synchronously with the update (unless the package maintainer
wanted them that way).
