The rule is simple, if the package can changes, PORTREVISION has to be
bumped.
Ports users can always choose not to upgrade a specific version, and must
not, ever, have to force the upgrade of a port to get a change, a fix, or
whatever.
As for package users, they won't get the new version as the package version
has not changed, which is, too, wrong.
