But a lot of the stuff in the PKGBUILD is copied into the package database, so
why is the install stuff an exception? I don't think it'd be the only multi-line
field.

It seems like the install functions pre/post_install/upgrade/remove could be

cannot be so?
This has come up on the ML before. It's because the PKGBUILD file is
not installed to the system, and the system shouldn't have to know or
care about the build process, only the install and usage.
