Yes, agreed.  I don't know where this idea came from that it's somehow a
bad thing to set PR = "r0" explicitly, but whatever its source I think
it is a mistaken belief.  It seems obviously silly to delete the PR
definition whenever a package is upgraded to a new upstream version, and
then re-insert it again on the next packaging change; aside from
anything else, it's just more typing than keeping the line intact and
just changing the value.
