Quite so.

I trust my upstreams too. But I always look through the diffs
on updates, and I have local patches to fix upstream bugs all the
time. I may not undestand intricate upstream code, but that does not
prevent me from fixing obvious bugs.
I see the translations as upstream. A different upstream,
perhaps, than the rest of the code, but I retain control of what goes
in my packages.
