Rationale:
- It makes it easier to recover an installation securely
when updating pacman or libraries independenly broke
pacman.
- It makes upgrading to the new packages format possible for
very old installations, as otherwise you end up in a
dependency loop where you need the new libraries versions
that are in the new package format to install the new
pacman version which is needed to install the new
libraries versions.
It also has no changes for now as it doesn't provide any
configuration files as they are already provided by the
pacman package.
Dependencies also need to be built in the PKGBUILD as
Arch Linux has !staticlibs enabled by default in OPTIONS in
/etc/makepkg.conf, and we rely on archlinux packages for at
least some of the pacman dependencies.
