Maybe I was not clear enough on this, but my proposal would be that
you could say in your amend file something like
BASEPR_CHECK("r12")
or something like that (I did not really think about what the best
syntax would be).

If you were building and the base recipe did not have the PR you
specified you'd get a warning (or maybe even an error) so you would
know that something changed under water.
