Marking as a "duplicate" because I've figured out a way to do this
properly for a majority of use cases and described it in a more concrete
bug: see bug #255665 (marked as High priority so we get to it RSN).
Basically, I believe net effect will be exactly what you want:
translations from packages (~upstream) will have precedence over ones in
Launchpad when there was no previous translation from a package. Only
intentional changes by Ubuntu translators will remain, but that's what's
actually desired.
The two other missing components are going back to a suitable state
(i.e. reverting all unneeded changes), and solving the Ubuntu
translators organization. Ubuntu side of things is on-going already,
Arne Goetje is in charge of Ubuntu Translation Group, and should be
helping organize everything so teams start having reasonable policies.
As for reverting translations changed in LP, we've got a separate task
for that: https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/rosetta/+spec/revert-
translation-to-packaged (also High priority). This will allow easy
reversion of an entire PO file, and after the two LP tasks are done, you
should not expect any more problems with changed translations in LP. You
might want to subscribe to that spec as well to fully track the progress
of solving the problem described in this book^Wbug report. (You should
automatically be subscribed to the other bug, which is why I am marking
this a duplicate; if that's a problem, I apologize)
