Anyway, the scriptlets won't be able to run at all until a base system is installed.. But that's another problem : http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2007-August/009148.html

Hmm, one thing I forgot to ask about this : does anyone know how the Arch installer handle this? It doesn't install all packages twice, does it?

That is : 1) pacman -S --noscriptlet bash 2) pacman -S base
