All metadata in a .bbappend is essentially concatenated to the recipe.
 If you define PR in the .bbappend, it will override the one in the
recipe, which is unlikely what you want, as that loses information.
The better route is to do something like PR .= ".1" in the .bbappend,
and bump that when changing the bbappend file.
