Title:
  Old upstream translations overwrite newer upstream translations in
  Ubuntu

Status in Launchpad itself:
  Triaged
Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  New

Bug description:
  Launchpad generally prefers upstream translations over Ubuntu
  translations. So much that it blindly sets the upstream translation as
  current if it was not already overridden.

  However, with translations sharing, this causes a problem: we can have
  older translations re-imported on an older series (eg. in Natty with a
  bugfix package), and these translations would now override more recent
  translations (in eg. Oneiric). Until newer Oneiric package is provided
  again, older translations will be used.

  Translations preference policy should check the date when replacing
  existing upstream translation with the one being imported.
