Indeed, no *long* translation appears, and an outdated short one does:
http://packages.debian.org/de/sid/sup
http://packages.debian.org/en/sid/sup

You're right, actually I guess DDTP lacks a Description-$lang-md5
In the current code, packages.debian.org manages only one translation per
english description, I don't know really about DDTP specifications (what it the
point in managing several different translations of the same english ?).
If we remove this check, the database size is * 3, extraction time to database
is still a matter of seconds, max 1 minute.
At import, only one translation is imported, then on static generation, we
fetch considering the md5 as the key (lib/Packages/DoShow.pm lines ~180).
The code that imports translations in the database is:
