Why do you believe this?  At least in my world (and PORTREVISION was my
baby), you're changing the package contents such that before it would
work with the old library and not with the new library and after it will
work on the new library, and not with the old library.  With the same
versioning information.  Maybe I just know nothing about upgradeability,
but that seems to screw with it.
