Sorry, I missed this bug when I created bug 735934 this morning. I am mostly done with creating a dh_translations (dh-translations package built from pkgbinarymangler) which takes over all functionality of our cdbs langpacks.mk.
The remaining Ubuntu customizations to gnome.mk, as well as the stuff that Debian does as well should still be ported to debhelper, and the resulting dh_gnome should move to gnome-pkg-tools. Then Ubuntu's gnome-pkg-tools would just need to depend on dh-translations, and we wouldn't need any other delta.
