Haha, yea, long time debian/ubuntu user here too. The only way I found out and know was because my script that parses apt-policy failed [1]. Pure luck [2].
Also seconding the do-translations-later. I don't know if there are statistics available for this, but based on anecdotal evidence alone, I say that many people run their OS in English anyway. And that the average debian/ubuntu user is used to more English than average users of proprietary operating systems..

In this case the packages are indicated as being "kept back". Unfortunately, the feedback provided about this to the user is not very informative. The user sees the packages being kept back and thinks something is going wrong on the system. When packages are kept back because of phased updates, apt should say so e.g., it should say that the upgrade is delayed. Incidentally note that aptitude does not respect phased updates.
