Oh... well... yes.

You lost me at "dh_..." - my Debian packaging skills are defined by Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V

Anyway, I just wanted to throw in the question/idea... right now, the workflow is: See package without description in your language in HAM ==> file bug or send mail to maintainer ==> wait.
That's not too difficult.

Anything provided by transifex should be about as simple (for the package maintainer, that is), plus it should provide
  • the ability to search the collection for untranslated package descriptions (which you might not see if you don't have -texting/-devel enabled)
  • the ability to search the collection for untranslated package descriptions for languages other than the one you use on your N900
  • a more straightforward and controlled way of submitting translations
