While I agree, and I started and worked on the pt_BR effort, there's
still a problem with this: we, the people translating the descriptions
do not see the work being used, as no infra-structure code was added to
APT and the FTP.

It surely should not. Problem was we had no standard way of creating and
cooperating with projects of this nature. Now that we have alioth, maybe
this problem will be addressed with time. Maybe we need a policy on this
anyway, like creating this kind of projects using the 'Debian' group.
