4a08198baa Explicitly mention that the PKGREVISION must be incremented when a
dependency of the package changes. I still have problems with some
packages that depend on GConf2, which doesn't exist anymore. The
dependency has silently changed to GConf, without increasing any
PKGREVISION. Same for gnome-vfs2 and gnome-vfs.
