This is still the case today.

We ship translations in language packs, but if I'm not mistaken, they
are not used (the ones in
/usr/share/vim/vim$VERSION/lang/$LANG/LC_MESSAGES are). On my system:

/usr/share/locale-langpack/ca/LC_MESSAGES/vim.mo
/usr/share/locale-langpack/de/LC_MESSAGES/vim.mo
/usr/share/locale-langpack/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/vim.mo
/usr/share/locale-langpack/es/LC_MESSAGES/vim.mo
/usr/share/vim/vim72/lang/af/LC_MESSAGES/vim.mo
/usr/share/vim/vim72/lang/ca/LC_MESSAGES/vim.mo
/usr/share/vim/vim72/lang/cs/LC_MESSAGES/vim.mo
/usr/share/vim/vim72/lang/de/LC_MESSAGES/vim.mo
/usr/share/vim/vim72/lang/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/vim.mo
/usr/share/vim/vim72/lang/eo/LC_MESSAGES/vim.mo
[...]

I think until upstream starts using standard gettext we should disable
the vim translation template from Launchpad and not include it in
language packs.

vim package has all translations (look at /usr/share/vim/vim63/lang/) instead 
of using langpacks
