3) Files extraction
maybe using suffix like dpkg does : http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2007-August/009139.html
Being able to cleanly rollback when an error comes up would be pretty neat. Maybe this could also helps limiting the number of times the archive is read: http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2007-July/008751.html
It's possible to test these problems with pactest files? If yes, I would provide some exotic tests...
I believe Dan hoped someone could extend pactest so that it would be possible. I never took the time to look at pactest though, There are always other things to look at :) Dan already made a step in the direction though : http://projects.archlinux.org/git/?p=pacman.git;a=commit;h=19f66083f0aef92af... but there is a TODO left :p
