No one of these methods include the translation sources in the sources
of the package, so no one is valid for Debian.

The source is not available in the Debian sources, so it's still a
serious violation of the DFSG. You must include all the sources, not
sources mixed with binaries and trust that you can find the rest of the
sources in the net.

So this is still a RC bug. I know, by my own experience, that it's
unfortunate if upstream doesn't provide you the sources directly, but as
a maintainer, you don't have excuses to avoid adding a patch including
them in the Debian sources.
