No, this is precisely backwards from how the language pack system is
designed and how it works elsewhere in Ubuntu.  Language packs are
supposed to beat packaged translations.

Now, this works in Ubuntu because packaged translations are imported
into Launchpad and then circle back to language packs.  For customised
projects, I would say that it's appropriate to make this sort of change,
but I would rather not do so for Ubuntu.

I'd consider something that msgmerged the two translations so that you
got language-pack translations in preference where they exist but also
got a fallback to packaged translations where the language pack simply
doesn't have the strings at all, although grub-pc doesn't depend on
gettext at the moment and I'm slightly worried about introducing a
dependency on a development package.  Still, I think this would be a
better approach.
