I've tracked down the root cause of the problem. It lies in the recent
commit to dak which switches stable to jessie. (I can't find a gitweb
for dak so can't provide a link). The repo is here:
https://ftp-master.debian.org/git/dak.git/

commit 19ffc1de995fd165d9438a8b7769cd7c45bbce60
Author: Ansgar Burchardt <ans...@debian.org>
Date:   Sat Apr 25 10:49:14 2015 +0200

    Switch to "jessie" as stable.


In some places jessie was replaced with stretch and in some places
stretch was added, inconsistantly.

To fix this, dak needs to be patched to either apply the rest of the
changes to the ddtp_i18n_check.sh script in this commit:

https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-l10n/ddtp.git/commit/?id=ffd41dc00a0d3e10cbb0d455a4d3ca0236fb64a3

Or revert the change to dak that would allow updated translations to
stable. That would be the following patch I beleive (though I don't
really understand what the code is doing here):

    (cd $base/ftp/
-            for dist in sid jessie stretch; do
*            for dist in sid stretch; do
                    find ./dists/$dist/main/i18n/ \! -type d | sort -u | gzip 
-9 > $base/ftp/indices/files/components/translation-$dist.list.gz
            done
    )

Personally I would like it if we could provide updated translations for
stable, but in the past this has been rejected.

Hope this helps,
