It is visible to a user setting up the package for the first time (as it
affects the default behavior, and thus reduces the chance that you'll
need to set up a custom config file). It is invisible to users
upgrading -- the users who are served by bumping PKGREVISION for changes
which do affect them, and badly disserved by bumping PKGREVISION -- as
you just did -- for invisible changes, thus spamming their pkg_chk
output.
