Just for clarification: The number in front of Translation-* entries is always
500 as no pin can sensibly match it, but that is not a problem as pinning has
no effect for Translations at all as there is no need to. Translations are
associated to the versions they belong to so an "experimental" Translation
can't escalated itself up to be shown for a "stable" package.
(Exception: "stable" and "experimental" contain the same package (version),
which therefore has the same Description and also the same Translation)
I would be in favor of hiding them from the output as they serve no real
propose other than might be confusing users, but somehow I fear there is
some usecase for it I am unaware of ( https://xkcd.com/1172/ ).
Any other ideas or should we just bite the bullet?
Best regards
