This will all base not on the package name (old system) but base on the email address from the sid packages file. And you can make things like 'NONOTIFICATION -de -fr' to get only german and french translations (and not all the others) from the server. IMHO this is the solution. and a extra note: I start this feature only after a discussion on debian-devel and after a annoucement on debian-devel-announce.
