Well, now I got you, there has been some kinda blackout this afternoon :)
Actually, as Jason stated there are plans to for such things, which won't
replace the build function, though instead they provide some useful
functions to stop gconf from updating the database(which needs to
be done on installation not on build) and similar things. If you think
further you will face the situation how should these function provided?
Which package should carry them?
makepkg: nope, cu'z for every new function the pacman package needs to be
upgraded
gconf itself: very specific and can bring trouble with the dependencies
Current idea is to provide the package groups wise like in gnome-common and
similar. But this isn't thought out completely.
