I for one don't like the idea of hiding the phased update info unless there is also a flag to show it. Not showing the info at all just obscures the issue even more and would lead to a lot of unnecessary confusion when odd situations might occur.
I also think it would be far better to have a separate non-translated message for packages held back due to phased updates and then add translations later. The current confusion is occurring world-wide; an English message about in process phased updates is going to provide a lot more useful info to a non-English speaker than what is happening now. Like others have mentioned, I also am a long-time Debian and Ubuntu user and this issue took WAY longer than it should have for me to understand what was actually going on since there was absolutely NO notices or info about phased updates at all in any apt commands or config files (except for apt policy on a specific package).
