Maybe thats the answer.

We add .rebld.[0-9]* to the end of pkgrel as a rebuild tag.

It just involves changing 1 line in -

/usr/share/makepkg/lint_pkgbuild/pkgrel.sh

change -

         if [[ $pkgrel != +([0-9])?(.+([0-9])) ]]; then
to -

         if [[ $pkgrel != +([0-9])?(.+([0-9])) -a $pkgrel != 
+([0-9])?(.+([0-9])).rebld.([0-9])* ]]; then

or it might be modified to add this automatically based on what is 
currently installed.
