It does!
I've checked by adding 'Defaults env_keep += "SHLVL"' to /etc/sudoers.

Would it make sense to export/set SHLVL=1 in _alpm_run_chroot() if SHLVL does not exist
before executing the shell to make sure its non-interactive?

I've first thought of adding --norc, but I think that's a non standard option not all shells users may configure pacman to use support...
Exporting that variable if it does not exist should work with every shell and also should not hurt non-bash shells, I think?
