Update messages are hard to see if they scroll past quickly, or when updating via scripts. On the other hand, pacman.log contains "warning:" lines that show which files were renamed. And why do you believe that logs are only useful post-mortem?
Now, *there's* a simple fix. Don't do automatic updates via scripts. Part of Arch's design is that users should keep an eye on what the package manager does and heed any messages it gives. If the output scrolls past quickly, a post-install message would get lost too, and let's not even get into how bad an idea scripted updates are! There is no change needed. This particular file is no different from all the many many many other files and pacman messages in general that have been *the responsibility of the user* to read end-of-story, since time immemorial. -- Eli Schwartz
