Comment(by perry@…):

 That's a good point; though, as another thought, should the epoch even be
 displayed?

 From my perspective, users are only concerned with the upstream version;
 in the case that a port's version/revision is kept the same or
 decremented, I think it would be enough to just set the flag to E.

 I've updated the patch to just set the flag to E whenever the epoch is
 incremented - not only when the installed_version matches the
 latest_version.  For example, {{{ 0.1_0 < 0.0_0 E }}}.
