handle proper touching (as needed) in !NumPy's `spkg-install` (cf. #4797);
bumping the (Sage) patch level usually does not require a rebuild of
modules depending on such an spkg.

At least that. (In rare cases, a Sage-only update might also require
rebuilding the libraries though, which the spkg [maintainer] will be aware
of and do the touch, too.)
Many upstream upgrades will not require rebuilding the extension modules
at all.

:-) Depends on your hardware...
It's just that there are so many "brute-force" schemes in Sage that could
be much cleaner, not necessarily to speed up the build process but because
they break potential improvements, frequently cause trouble and make Sage
''less'' maintainable.
But I'm ok with your patch. There's always a next release for further
improvements... ;-)
(I assume the upgrade path contains your unmodified patch.)
