This is a dual signoff. I have split the pacman mirrorlist into its
own package because
1) Pacman releases are not all that common (because its perfect
software, of course!)
2) Our packaged mirrorlist often lags waaay behind the actual one in
SVN, because I find it a waste to rebuild pacman just for mirrorlist
changes. This will prevent that.
I don't actually run pacman, so 2 signoffs per arch would be
wonderful. In addition, PLEASE let me know if anything goes awry
during a normal upgrade process. This could include mirrorlist not
being written to pacsave, mirrorlist disappearing, etc.

Upgrade went fine here. The old mirrorlist is moved to a .pacorig
instead of the new one being saved as a .pacsave, but I think this is
what we should expect. I had a suspicion the new mirrorlist might have
been removed when the pacman package was upgraded but it appears pacman
is smarter than I thought.... ;)

Optional dependencies for pacman
fakeroot: for makepkg usage as normal user
python: for rankmirrors script usage
We might want to post a news item because many people would not have
seen a .pacorig before. It also means people actually have to do
merging to keep their mirror settings.
Signoff i686.
