I was going to say the same thing.  But then I thought: this will cause 
PORTREVISION to be bumped anytime a RUN_DEPENDS or LIB_DEPENDS is 
updated (because the package will change in +CONTENTS).

But, for example, it seems to me that PORTREVISION should NOT be bumped 
if a LIB_DEPENDS changes, and it is not a major library revision change. 
  For example, in this case the portmaster program reinstalls the 
library only, and changes the +CONTENTS and +REQUIRED_BY of the various 
installed packages appropriately.  And the program will still work just 
fine.  So PORTREVISION should not be bumped.
