What was wrong with it?  

If there's extra stings there I think that's down to a bug in my packaging.

It's not clear what you mean here.  Are you importing translations
from kdebluetooth into Rosetta?  If they take a month to get into the
distribution that's not a bad timeframe for a distro.  The
kdebluetooth developers don't have time to make any releases but
that'll affect all distros, I might take a snapshot of SVN with all
current translations.

What's the bug number?

ubuntu-translators seems pretty busy to me.

I don't see adding a link to Rosetta as abusing the reputation of KDE.
