Issue with the pkgng repository

I have another minor issue with pkgng:
Say package foo-1.0 depends on bar-1.0. Then bar-1.0 is upgraded to
version 1.1.
So a new package bar-1.1 is built (from the port), and replaces bar-1.0
in the repository. The repository database is then updated using 'pkg
repo'.
Now the repository database is out of whack: It still thinks foo-1.0
depends on bar-1.0 (the deps table in the compressed repo.sqlite database
- i.e. repo.txz in the repository).
Admittedly the packages will still install (from the repository in
question) on another machine, but nevertheless it doesn't seem quite
right.
One workaround is to re-create the foo package (plus any others depending
on bar) and refresh the repository, but is this an omission?
