Yes and no...

Yes to "mergemaster -p" -- it may be skipped in short jumps. But
better safe than sorry -- as for me I use it always. It's not too
hard anyway. ;-)

No to "mergemaster -i" -- this step is mandatory. One may (though
rarely but nevertheless may) get an unbootable host without this
step.
