Right, this is the other half of the issue. I've implemented the half of
the issue concerning the PTS a while ago, together with Nicolas François
(Cc:-ed).

The actual definition of "there is l10n work to do" is not up to the
PTS, but up to the l10n data which the PTS retrieves. IIRC, back than
the suggestion by Nicolas was to show as "needs work" stuff for which
translation exists but are not up to date, but not stuff for which a
translation has never really existed (beware: I might be wrong on this,
better wait for feedback from Nicolas).

Of course you might argue that the point is where to draw the line, as
there's basically always l10n work to do. I suggest that that choice
should be better made by l10n people, according to the impact they would
like to have on developers checking PTS pages. My own opinion, not
terribly informed, is that the current one is a reasonable compromise.

HTH,
Cheers.
