It may be a bit late 'n' all that (I'm a slow thinker sometimes), but:

(a) Is there any really good reason why these not very big packages 
which have to be installed on an Archlinux system anyway or else pacman 
   won't work shouldn't be part of the pacman package? O.K. you can 
update pacman without touching the libraries, but this could be 
postponed for a few months if you really want that, couldn't it?

(b) Is there any good reason why pacman is at all supplied dynamically 
linked as the statically linked version is in there too? One could have 
a static-only pacman and supply theses libraries separately for anyone 
who wants them.
