Any external script would need to invoke pacman three times (-Ql, -Qk, -Qkk) in order to meet the requirements. It does not seem advantageous to force the user to wait three times longer than necessary.
What is preventing someone from writing a dedicated, independent tool in C that hooks into alpm? Wouldn't that achieve the same speed without including this in Pacman?
This is a genuine question. I do not know if alpm is sufficiently modular to support this.
