Doing it at the same time would make the update cheaper for snapshot users (only have to update p5-* once not twice) but the revision bumps still need doing because +DESC will change (hash won't match). It can be semi-automated with portbump but that often gets confused with flavours/subpackages and maybe some other cases so there will probably be some where it fails to bump properly, so still wants either a build test or eyeballing "make show=PKGNAMES" before/after (test build avoids eyes going funny looking at columns of identical-except-for-one-char names!).
