Applications should generally install their translations on
/usr/share/locale, or to be more correct, to a location specified by the
--prefix option at build time (i.e. $prefix/locale).

The /usr/share/locale-langpack directory is an Ubuntu-specific feature
to allow translations be shipped in language packs.

However, this only applies to packages in the main repository, and not
to packages in universe, which should ship their translations in
/usr/share/locale (well, $prefix/locale).

In any case, the /usr/share/locale-langpack should never be hardcoded in
an upstream application.

The merge proposal submitted a while ago in this branch should fix this
issue:

https://code.launchpad.net/~dpm/gui-ufw/improve-i18n/+merge/33303

It's just a matter of modifying the setup.py file to use python-
distutils-extra and using standard practices instead of re-writing code
to manage translations there.

I'll be more than happy to help further on this.
