Does this actually mean a problem? 
Many Ubuntu-specific packages do this (package management in python by mvo :)), and they work, probably because of this:

Title:
  TEXTDOMAINDIR needs to be set to the language packs locale directory
  to load translations

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Incomplete
Status in “friendly-recovery” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Looking at the friendly-recovery translation, I've noticed the
  following:

  $ grep -Rn TEXTDOMAINDIR *
  recovery-mode/l10n.sh:42:export TEXTDOMAINDIR=/usr/share/locale

  So it seems that the l10n.sh script is looking for translations in
  /usr/share/locale. Instead, it should be looking at translations in
  /usr/share/locale-langpack, which is where the .mo files for packages
  handled by language packs are installed. E.g.

  $ locate friendly-recovery.mo
  /usr/share/locale-langpack/ca/LC_MESSAGES/friendly-recovery.mo
  /usr/share/locale-langpack/ca@valencia/LC_MESSAGES/friendly-recovery.mo
  /usr/share/locale-langpack/de/LC_MESSAGES/friendly-recovery.mo
  /usr/share/locale-langpack/en_AU/LC_MESSAGES/friendly-recovery.mo
  /usr/share/locale-langpack/en_CA/LC_MESSAGES/friendly-recovery.mo
  /usr/share/locale-langpack/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/friendly-recovery.mo
  /usr/share/locale-langpack/pt/LC_MESSAGES/friendly-recovery.mo
  /usr/share/locale-langpack/pt_BR/LC_MESSAGES/friendly-recovery.mo
  /usr/share/locale-langpack/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES/friendly-recovery.mo
