[pacman-dev] IgnorePkg, Holdpkg in libalpm/remove.c

Ehh, indeed;-) I totally misinterpreted HoldPkg, but now I've read our manual;-)
If HoldPkg == RemoveIgnorePkg, then why we need user confirmation for removing
them if he listed the package in the "command line" (package was added by
remove_addtarget)? This is not done with IgnorePkg neither. So they are not
"symmetric" in this way.
RemoveIgnorePkg (and so Holdpkg) has real meaning in case of -Rc and -Rs only
(imho), when pacman does some auto-magic stuffs; not when I do pacman -R
holdpkg, because then I really want to remove holdpkg.
