[pacman-dev] Display messages from install scripts after all packages have been installed

Hi,

I'm sure this question/request must have been asked before, however I
wasn't able to find anything by searching for it. Apologies in advance
if this is the wrong place to post.

Install scripts bundled with packages sometimes print *important*
changes/warnings when a package is installed or upgraded. These
warnings are clearly visible when installing a single package, but
tend to get lost when installing lots of packages because the install
script hooks run right after each package is installed.

I'm wondering if there is someway to delay the printing of these
messages/warnings until all packages have been installed.
Could/should a new hook be added that could run after all packages
have been installed?
Does anyone besides me even care?

Thanks,
Jashandeep
