I know I harp on this a lot, but I'm curious about this one. Why is a
portrevision bump useful here? I see two possibilities:

1. A user has a working version of the port.
2. A user did not have a working version of the port, therefore it
wasn't installed.

In the first case the bump is harmful, since it causes the user to
upgrade something for no benefit. In the second case, the bump is
meaningless.

Is there a part of this picture that I'm not seeing?
