OK, I spent some time digging. I have identified the issue with cups-genppdupdate overwriting in english any localized ppd. I will file a separate bug (and provide a patch) for that soon.
With that, no need to re-generate a localized ppd everytime the package is upgraded. However, I still need to generate the initial version of the localized ppd (i.e. on a fresh install) because higher level tools such as gnome-print only create "on the fly" ppds in english (there is ground to file a wishlist bug there also). So there seems to me that cups-genppd will still be needed and I suggest you re-introduce it in the next major release of gutenprint. I hope this make sense. If not, I'm ready to clarify.
