My only point is that moving pacman DB around is the least difficult thing to
deal with when it comes to bringing factory-reset and friends to Archlinux.
I don't object to this move by itself, but the motivation seems ill-defined to
me. Moreover, reshuffling things around will break lots of scripts our there
that expect /var/lib/pacman/local to be populated...
