Bug Description
Currrently pkgstripfiles command isn't used automatically in PPA builds and there are no possibility to enable pkgbinarymangler for teams PPAs :(
I'm Ubuntu-based distribution (Baltix GNU/Linux) developer and I need a possibility to strip translations and changelogs from some packages, which I patch, but translations strings still are identical to official Ubuntu packages, see for example https:/
I've found workaround - created PPA named oem-archive, this works, but not with first package (thanks for tip, WGrant), see https:/
Julian Edwards promised to add the checkbox on the +edit page for the PPA:
[X] Strip translations from packages covered by Ubuntu language packs
But it seems Julian forgot about this, so, I'm reopening this bug :)

Of course an even more elegant approach would be to add a new flag
[X] Strip translations from packages covered by Ubuntu language packs
to a PPA configuration and expose this as a flag "EnablePkgStrip
