Where the translations are shipped doesn't make a difference to the
system so that's not a change over previous version of the package, out
of the fact that it generates now a binary without actual content which
is a bit weird (we already have a few similar cases).

The way the translations system works is that pkgbinarymangler will
build a translations tarball including the .pot and .po files from the
source package at the end of the build. The .pot is used to build an
index of the translatable strings, the .po are imported in the
translations database.

Often upstream tarballs / sources packages don't include an uptodate
.pot, dh_translations is an answer to that problem, it generated an
updated .pot catalog. If it is not used we often end up with Launchpad's
view of the "translatable strings for the package" being incorrect,
which results in incomplete translations being provided in the language-
packs
