I certainly see your point, but as the installer stabilises, the changes
in the texts should be considerably fewer. If testversions of the d-i
packages are released prior to Debian releases, it should be easy to
catch up, so no texts are untranslated in the final installer.
Even currently I think it introduces even more lag, that I have to
search discover changes among 37 po-files from time to time instead of
recieving notifications by email from ddtp.

Agreed, this is a real advantage of po.
We should encourage ddtp to include such comments in the templates sent
to translators and reviewers. If this is done, I think ddtp is an better
and easier system to use (to me at least).
