Well, the guts of it is this (from memory):

* The debian/rules file contains the commands that need to be run to install 
everything into a chroot that is needed to build all the packages (at the 
moment just koha and koha-common.) If the command to build the translations 
was added to this, along with anything needed to put them in the right place 
(probably alongside the en installed files), then that's the first step.
* Say you've set it up to install the -no translations, then you need to add 
the details of that package in debian/control (or, really, debian/control.in.) 
This is a description and depends and so forth. Basically, it'll require a) 
anything that's needed to build the translations (build-depends), and b) it'll 
depend on koha-common to be installed.
* Make sure that koha-common.install doesn't pull in the translations into the 
package that it makes - it should only include the default en ones (or, 
perhaps, they should be in their own package too. I'm not sure about that 
though.)
* Create something like koha-translations-no.install (the name being whatever 
you called it in the control file) that tells it where the translated files go 
when the rules file is being evaluated, and where they should end up when the 
package is installed.

All going to plan, this should work :) Once someone has worked out the tricks 
the first time, any other translations should just be a copy-paste of that 
with appropriate language codes changed. 

It's been on my radar for a while (I really want to get -en-nz into there for 
example), but I've lacked the time, and things aren't going to get quieter in 
the next month or three it looks like (too many libraries want Koha now 
apparently :)
