It should be a rule, but it's a bit hard to manage at the moment. (What's needed is a means to signal that a package needs a PORTREVISION bump. In theory, any consumer of jpeg, even those that don't use jpeg directly in their LIB_DEPENDS lines, will be needed to get a PORTREVISION bump when the major version of jpeg changes. ie, every kde application... See why it's a bit hard to manage at the moment? As far as I'm aware, Debian's management scripts will notice the changing version requirements for jpeg.9 to jpeg.10, and thus increment the package revision.)
