Soyuz used to create translations tarballs for the upload, but we got rid of those a few years back. Nowadays, attachTranslationFiles feeds the source package release's deb file straight into TranslationsImportQueue.addOrUpdateEntriesFromTarball (after all a deb is also a tarball!), which unpacks the tarball on the fly so that Rosetta never needs the file from the Librarian again.

The only duplication there is that the unpacked translation files do go back into the librarian, but that's only a tiny fraction of disk space usage.

So really this is about sourcepackagerelease files in the librarian, not translations tarballs.
