Just a note on why the raw-translations tarballs are extremaly useful for the Ubuntu Translations Coordinators team:

When there are any issues in importing translations (.po files) or templates (.pot files) into Launchpad, we use a launchpadlib script to get the librarian locations and then download the raw-translations tarball to obtain and examine the exact file fed to Rosetta.

This saves us from locally building a local package from source and stripping out the translations also locally, which in some cases produces raw translations tarballs which do not quite match the raw-translations upload (e.g. in the case of KDE uploads).

This bug simply means that in the case of security uploads, we are not able to access those raw-translations tarballs
