N_() is meant to be used on strings that are subsequently _()'d, which
isn't the case here.

The affected construct is a bit questionable from an i18n perspective,
as it pieces together a sentence from separate strings. However, it
doesn't appear to be that bad, as the "assembly instructions" are in a
translatable message as well. Lacking specific complaints from
translators, it doesn't seem worth changing this.

True that we frown upon sentence Legos like this.  At least the
original message in C locale does not break the flow too badly, so
hpoefully all the supported languages are happy with the existing
composition.

Will queue.

Thanks.
