That's correct: essentially it is just moving the SRCPV-equivalent thing
from PV to PKGV.  But, PKGV only needs to be evaluated during the
do_package step, not at parse time, so you only incur the cost and risk
of running git rev-list (or whatever) for packages that you are actually
building rather than for all recipes in your source tree.
