1. Since I am lazy, I first try with the easiest solution.
What about completely removing these messages? Are these useful with
-Su at all? (The old -Qu printed these messages as well, bacause it
was a simulation of -Su).
2. We could disable all warnings like with -Sp.
3. Most complicated: Give a new parameter to sync_newversion. This
could fix the possible duplicated "pacman is newer than extra" message
on -Su.

Which solution do you prefer?
