Based on off-list feedback I've changed to instead include all files located in $XDG_DATA_DIRS/packages. On my system that means the following two dirs will be searched: /usr/share/packages /opt/gnome/share/packages I've attached the latest PKGBUILD. Only a minimum set of rules are there (for less). I'll be importing some more in the next few days.
