The problem is that the lessoften script does currently not run
according to
http://www-master.debian.org/build-logs/webwml/
I asked Josip if he could enable it again, but received no answer.
Of course this is my fault since I did not complain loudly ;)

Right, I will fix it.

I fully agree, the problem is that there is no bijection between
packages using a native format and Debian native packages; moreover
some developers have their own translators (e.g. via the Free
Translation Project). So I have currently no solution, the best bet
would be that maintainers explicitly request help from Debian
translators, and this ends up with creating an infrastructure similar
to the Free Translation Project for Debian. A better alternative would
be to use the FTP (which works pretty well AFAICT, but I do not use it
myself) instead of maintaining our own system, and thus to have a Debian
pseudo-domain containing all Debian packages so that Debian translators
can concentrate on them. This is just a thought, I did not contact FTP
folks to see if this is realistic.
