It reads:

these with clean pacman.conf and makepkg.conf files (directly from the
pacman package) during first creation of clean chroot to ensure lack
of user specific adjustments."
I think this is misleading. If you *don't* provide these arguments,
what you get is the default config files directly from the pacman
package, right? So the desired thing in most circumstances is,
presumably, NOT to override?
I believe it copies the local ones on your file system. Perhaps that
should be changed...
After building my chroot, the resulting pacman.conf inside it was
different than my /etc/pacman.conf. I didn't see anything in
mkarchroot to suggest it was doing anything special to those files
unless the options are passed in, so it seemed to me like it must
be, by default, just installing the default ones along with the
pacman package.
Can anyone confirm that's the intended behavior? It seems to be how
it works, unless I'm missing something.
