Could it be rephrased so that in case of building correctly a package, 
but the built is not correct (i.e. missing a crucial builddepends), it 
will be clear that the revision number should be increased when the 
BuildDepends field changes. Otherwise the user has not chance to see 
its package updated, unless he knows the info file has silently 
changed.

For example, I think about missing shared-mime-info, which does not 
impede the build of the package, but impedes the user to add new 
filters.
