It always bugged me that pacman outputs package names in a format that
it cannot handle itself.

If we want to keep the local/ prefix, we should also support it on
every local operations. Not only -R, but also -Q, -Qi, etc..

I am curious about the operations on sync packages though, for example :
does pacman -Si handle the repo/ format?
