Yes, that's the alternative I had in mind.

Wasn't aware of that card. I have no strong opinion on the topic. If I
recall it correctly, the packages where we currently make use of "X
-Ubuntu-Use-Langpack: yes" are packages which were previously in main,
and thus we had existing Ubuntu only translations which we can keep
making use of that way. But I don't see anything which prevents us from
enabling the langpacks for more packages.

As you already mentioned, backporting a change to 18.04 would be tricky.
Maybe it would be wise to override dh_translations in bionic, and enable
langpacks going forward.

If enabling langpacks for new GNOME packages in 18.10, please remember
that LP templates need to be created.
