I don't think it's neccessary — I did it in a couple of places, and
neither msgfmt, nor the compiler complained.

Though, you would have to watch for some cases, like when there are
more format specifiers, eg.
 msgid_plural "Waiting for %d seconds [%s]"

If you simply drop "%d" here, whatever *printf command is used will
use the number of seconds as a pointer to string, which most likely
means a Segmentation fault (unless you're privileged enough to access
memory at 0x1, when %d is 1; i.e. you're a kernel :), and a bug which
developers would hate to debug (I guess).

So, be careful if you do it ;)
