It might have been mixed up with additional translations. That is, a
language missing in the package can still be translated by the language
pack. I'm not entirely sure what the argument was back then anymore, but
something like that was how it was explained to me.

OK let's be clearer: I want the ability to have translations in apt
prefer those from the langpack, if we ever manage to properly import
templates into launchpad (nobody seems to really respond to my inquiries
about that in IRC).

Or rather: Give me an option to tell gettext to prefer the translations
file with more translations: At the beginning, apt will likely ship a
more complete one, but as time goes on, the language pack can be easily
updated.

Title:
  Incorrect Russian translation of "apt list --upgradeable" results

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Invalid
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  bor@bor-Latitude-E5450:~$ apt list --upgradeable
  Вывод списка… Готово
  build/неизвестно 20161025 all [может быть обновлён до: 20151105]

  In Russian this means "version 20161025 can be upgraded TO version
  20151105)

  While original English says exactly opposite:

  bor@bor-Latitude-E5450:~$ LC_ALL=C LANG=C apt list --upgradeable
  Listing... Done
  build/unknown 20161025 all [upgradable from: 20151105]

  Literal translation (that does not require serious phrase change)
  would probably be

  "может быть обновлен с"

  although it sounds also artificial, as in Russian subject is package
  that is being updated (currently installed), not new version.
