Thinking of it the real issue is that we do have DEPENDS that takes
care that if A needs B, B is build before A (and I guess that after
updating B a bitbake of A will result in a recompile, even if A's PR
is not changed.

Maybe a solution could be to be able to rebuild a package plus all its
dependencies (the information is there in the DEPENDS lines).
