Agreed.

This is the big question. Some input from the maintainer would be
very welcome, because the package description gives me no idea what
this package is for.
# Description: Japanese Language package for Eclipse using Dynamic AOP, Pleiades
# The Pleiades is a dynamic AOP translation container, it provides dynamic
# Japanese localization to the Eclipse Platform and a large number of plug-ins.
# Some of its resources has contributed to the Eclipse.org.
It doesn't look like a "language pack", in the sense of being an
"eclipse-l10n-ja" (which would definitely belong in the "localization"
section instead of "devel"), but "translation container" and "dynamic
Japanese localization" don't make it any clearer to me.
Is it an interface for collecting contributed translations, or a
Machine Translation engine, or a set of Java libraries analogous to
gettext, or what? And why is it so important that it's implemented
via "Dynamic AOP"?
