You can increment the revision and the package definition will be
updated in the local 'db' (wpkg.xml).

Clearly also the package itself get updated: some package are too
small that does not fuss, most of the .msi installer are smart and a
second installation over the current substantially does nothing.
But other installer are big and dumb, and force big network transfers
and cpu time for installation.


Probably the 'revision' can be splitted in two part, one that upgrade
the package, one that upgrade only the recipes.
But effectively you can remove the 'upgrade' part temporarly and
increment the revision.
