I'm not sure about the reason - cc-ing Martin Pitt - but OTOH I know
something that may be related:

Neither for trusty nor for utopic there is a plan to accomplish further
coordinated language pack updates. As regards trusty (a LTS) there is
this release schedule:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/TrustyTahr/ReleaseSchedule

As regards utopic, whose life is just nine months, there was one
coordinated language pack update last December.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/LanguagePackUpdatesQA

(I see that the Norwegian team did participate - by testing the language
packs in -proposed - in the last coordinated update for trusty as
regards Norwegian bokmål, but not in the December update of utopic.)

In other words, if a translation team wants further updates for trusty
and/or utopic moved to -proposed and then -updates, there is a need to
request it specifically.

The recommendation is to focus on vivid from now on. To the extent newly
translated strings are identical in trusty/utopic, they will be
available there as well. But, again, you need to request language pack
updates to make such strings available to all users also in trusty/utopic.
