Could be, although I thought that our build cluster routinely rebuilds all
the packages regardless of updates thereof.  Even in your scenario, rebuild
should benefit (affect) dependent packages, and this particular case I had
explicitly mentioned.

To be safe, one can bump port revision if plist changes even if it was
previously correct; however, I have not seen technical proof that it should
always be done, but I of course could be wrong.  As an edge case, why
bump port revision for a leaf port, if pkg-plist was previously correct and
new files do not change port's behavior (read: bring no visible changes to
users or their vast majority), especially when the rebuild is very time
consuming?
