I don't think to - it just makes the resulting foo.msg file smaller.

Err... no, this is not the case. The semantics of an msgstr == "" is identical 
to saying "No translation exists to this source string".  Nothing more, 
nothing less. You can't specify a translation that should map a given string 
to an empty string. (If you make up a case when that would make some sense, 
usually the source string is rather weirdly chosen and should be reworded.)
