Oh sorry, I got Thomas answer, but followed up asking as confirmation
about a translation update round being not really useful....but then I
ommitted to change the package status in my local tracking system.

As the call for translations has been sent now, I hereby propose that
I just let it be completed. That gives an opportunity to translators
to send updates or new translations even if there's no immediate
upload.

In short, "it doesn't hurt"....but, of course, I won't be NMUing the
package.
