Anyway I have nothing against your proposal, I think it's fine, and it's not my call anyway.
I actually like it a lot, too.
There is another question : if we want to extend these EXAMPLES section with more stuff from http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman (and maybe http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman_Tips ?), should we put everything in the same man page, or make separate pages ?
I think we should not have more than 5 examples there, and only very typical ones, such that a newcomer would pick them up first.
You want people to know -Syu, -S, and -U first.
Uhm actually I would place -Ss before -U, because it's almost required for -S 1) search with -Ss 2) install with -S 3) upgrade with -Syu 4) install AUR package with makepkg -si (or makepkg -s + pacman -U but I dont use that much) Let's remove all other operations and options which are completely useless :)
