Meaning that we have no link to launchpad.net home page anywhere
anymore.  At least "launchpad" logo in the footer should link to
https://launchpad.net/.

I find it weird how they suddenly appear with two items when the
previous level page had no breadcrumbs.

So, while that might sound good in theory, what is the right approach
for this page:

  http://people.canonical.com/~danilo/tmp/headings-v2.png

I prefer the v1 layout: breadcrumbs tell us where we are, so just having
a title of "Download translations" is good enough.

v2 is following the guidelines below.
