With the previous repo-add / makepkg, the force flag in either form was not
supported.
Since 3.1.2, you have the possibility to use options=(force), but not
force=y.

This only concern repo-add users though, and dbscripts doesn't use that yet.
You will only need to convert old PKGBUILD to the new syntax when rebuilding
them and re-adding them with newer dbscripts that don't even exist yet.
