Hi Ross,

well, in this way it automatically fixes this issues with the -dev package which
is not installable for every build where gtk-engines has been built already, so
in my opinion this is a good reason to increment PR.
Randomly laying around packages with broken dependencies have quite more
potential to confuse people than incremented PR most users do not care about much.

Greetings
