Yes, because the file is included in the binary package, therefore the
revision should be bumped.  E.g., you won't bump if a change only makes
a package compile on a platform it didn't compile before, because it
doesn't change the binary package--there wasn't one.

Changing MAINTAINER is another example:  the binary package doesn't
include that information.

Of course, there some situations where it doesn't matter much (e.g.,
fixing a typo in MESSAGE).
