I think its worth doing this before any release that changes the list of
entries;
normally I've labelled these as the 'upstream' release.  We would do regular
debian releases that just include additional translations; no need to
ping the
translators if the files to be translated have not changed.

e.g. the next planned release (21st) is a 'debian' release; no need to
upload to
TP in advance of it.
