KDE has a limit, if a team manages to translate more than 80% of KDE 
essential; it will be released - till then you can get the language from 
SVN/Git.

Take gnome-do/tyv.po - you want to package it and I ask about the usefulness 
of having the file in the filesystem:

coolo@desdemona#po>LC_ALL=C msgfmt --statistics tyv.po 
1 translated message, 155 untranslated messages.

"Last-Translator: boracasli <Unknown>\n"

We may want to collect such mo files in some contrib-translations package 
perhaps instead of simply removing them. For this we would need build service 
support like we collect now .desktop files translations.
