Here is my experience w/ pkgdb...
Score -- Action
-------------------------------------------------------------
=> 80 % -- Accept the default suggestion as is; do
a /quick/ visual inspection if the new
suggestion, more or less, literally,
*looks*like* the old one. No need to actually
read the suggestion.
65 or 70 - 80 % -- Read carefully before accepting the default.
At least, make sure that the port origins are
same.
< 65 % -- Definitely make sure that you want to use the
suggested dependency; skip if have slightest of
the doubt.
