@Gabor: yes, there are, like there is a branch in Launchpad for all
Ubuntu packages, but that does not mean translations are exposed on
Launchpad, or that we can handle them.

I don't know what is our policy in this case: do we have a policy to
handle universe translations in this way? The only policy I know is
that we do not handle translations of packages out of main.
Personally, I don't agree in doing it like this. Patches should be
sent upstream: is Debian the real upstream in this case?

Translations for Wine are handled also within their development
resources. Are those menus also in the upstream Wine project, or is
something we (Ubuntu) or Debian add?
I think we need to clarify those aspects first and then we can
understand how to supply patches or how we can handle those
translations.
