It depends on why the build number changed.

If the script maintainer applied a patch that fixes a security
vulnerability, for instance. Or just a bugfix for a bug that you don't
happen to have bitten by yet.

If it's a library package, maybe the new build fixes a build issue with
some application that uses the library, that you might someday want
to install.

The person who changed that build number thought it was important enough
to go to the trouble of changing it... probably worth at least reading
the commit message to see what the change was for.
