Here is my experience w/ pkgdb...

           Score  -- Action
 -------------------------------------------------------------
          => 80 % -- Accept the default suggestion as is; do
                     a /quick/ visual inspection if the new
                     suggestion, more or less, literally,
                     *looks*like* the old one.  No need to actually
                     read the suggestion.

  65 or 70 - 80 % -- Read carefully before accepting the default.
                     At least, make sure that the port origins are
                     same.

           < 65 % -- Definitely make sure that you want to use the
                     suggested dependency; skip if have slightest of
                     the doubt.
