Now think there's a new version available of LIB, let's say version 2.1,

update by default LIB would be rebuilt, but no APP, what would cause
broken dependencies on APP (remember LIB is a dynamic library). However,
is you don't update LIB unless you update also APP you will prevent this
problem*.
That's what revdep-rebuild is for. Update your LIB, run revdep-rebuild,
and if APP is really broken by the LIB update (it doesn't have to be),
it will be rebuilt.

That is indeed true, however, it will always be better keeping things
right than breaking and fixing as a rule, don't you think?
