Aleix,

How about shipping all available translation files in tarballs and
some filtering at build time? This way packagers will have an option
to easily modify the filtering approach. And for those packagers who
don't care there will be some kind of default filter applied at build
time, the easiest being per package threshold at 70%.

The only downside is larger tarballs, because there will be much more
languages shipped, compared to filtering at tarball creation stage.
