This tar file comes from the official KDE Application releases, it is what they
(upstream) deliver.

You can download it yourself from
http://download.kde.org/stable/applications/16.08.0/src/kde-l10n/ and have a
look, kde-l10n-nl-16.08.0.tar.xz does contain plasma_applet_kdeobservatory.mo
(in 4/nl/messages/kdeplasma-addons). It's also still there in the latest
16.08.1 release.

We probably could remove this file (and the other KDE4 ones that might still be
included in our kde-l10n-de packages), but it's probably not worth the effort.
I think I read they were going to be removed upstream soon anyway.

I already told you: during the creation of bundle-lang-kde, all the separate
-lang and kde-l10n-xx packages get installed, and the files from there copied
to the new bundle-lang-kde-xx packages.

plasma5-pk-updates is not part of the regular KDE Application releases, so its
translations are not part of kde-l10n either.

Actually there don't seem to be any releases at all for a long time, the last
one is the outdated 0.2 (from April 2015, see
https://github.com/caybro/plasma-pk-updates/releases) which we use and apply a
couple of patches upon.

We have a separate tar ball with the translations in the plasma5-pk-updates
package sources that gets published as plasma-pk-updates-lang.
The translations are part of KDE's SVN (like all other KDE translations), but I
don't know a way to easily download all of the current ones for
plasma-pk-updates only.
