Because we're supposed to bump the BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED if it does, and the
bulk build should rebuild it.  This doesn't help binary packages much, but
until we have a soname-based provides/requires type of thing, it's the best
we can do.

Please *don't* remove anything based solely on @blddep.  That obviates the
whole point of dewey dependencies.
