Thanks Simon!

I checked the changes in the PPA for a sample of the packages, and it
simply adds that line as we said.

There are some build failures in the PPA, though. However, I couldn't
reproduce the failure when uploading unity-lens-photos to my own PPA, so
I'd say: Please go ahead with real uploads. If some of those failures
repeats itself when building for the archive, let's deal with it then.

For the record: The significance of adding "X-Ubuntu-Use-Langpack: yes"
is that future additions and modifications of translatable strings will
result in updated translation templates so the new/changed strings will
be made available to the translators.

Bug description:
  The Unity family of packages was previously part of standard Ubuntu.
  Thus all the translation templates were made available to the
  translators via Launchpad, and the translations were included in the
  language packs.

  Since those packages are no longer part of standard Ubuntu, they have
  been moved from main to universe. And translations are dropped.

  At the moment, it is feasible for us to keep using langpacks.

  That means adding "X-Ubuntu-Use-Langpack: yes" to their debian/control
  and doing an upload.
