Yes. A translation update round is part of the l10n NMU
process. However, the packages that are currently targeted for NMU
(http://i18n.debian.net/~thuriaux/l10n-nmu/nmu_bypackage.html) are
indeed nearly always those that had a Smith review but no action by
the maintainer.
So, for these packages, all translations that usually come in for
Smith reviews are already there. So, I'll make the update round *very*
short or indeed I'll just skip it.
Example for the first two packages (those indeed had an update round
in November):
ca-certificates:
ca-certificates (20070303-0.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Non-maintainer upload to fix longstanding pending l10n issues.

english team as part of the Smith review project.
Closes: #432249, #434789

instead of the deprecated "Apps/Tools"

.desktop entry

* [Lintian] Move Build-Depends-Indep to Build-Depends for packages used
in the clean target
PS: you'll note that some QA changes are also included in such
NMUs. This is the policy I also applied for the Etch l10n NMU
campaign.
