Simply put, sbopkg does not have any proper way to handle this other than
rebuilding the entire tree.

The only program I know that decently handles this is slackrepo, but it
seems to be best used on a clean machine (either virtual or not), which can
be difficult with certain users setups.

But I also have only used sbopkg and slackrepo (with the latter used in
conjunction with slapt-get to handle dependencies of packages), so others
might be better set up for it without me being aware of it.
