As a data point all the translations I've been sent since I can remember
(certainly since I converted my packages to use po-debconf) have arrived
as MIME attachments to bugs. If there are any problems with their
encoding they certainly haven't been reported to me. If this is a
problem it doesn't seem to be bothering many people.
I'd certainly much rather get translations as MIME attachments since
MIME is actually supported by mail tools and I'm not convinced there is
actually a problem with it.
