IIRC (correct me if I'm wrong) if you change message so that it changes
%* tags you should delete them from translations. Or (as you did, which
is possible with smaller changes) change it right away of course - I
prefer the latter as it's less work for translators and I'm one ;)

Anyway the point is, that if you leave these strings than until
translation is synced using it is dangerous (consider changing from %s
to %i, and printf getting int but reading it, because of old transation
as string).
