Wouldn't it also leave a bunch of programs "installed" but possibly
broken/unused? Furthermore, doesn't pacman now think that two packages
are responsible for the same file in a bunch of cases? Wouldn't that
mean that if you then tried to remove the unused program, it steals
a bunch of the files that are used by another program? What a mess!
