Yes, the patch is fine, but I don't like it: This is too "specific". Tomorrow an other user will arrive that his foo put bar directory to /var/lib/pacman. This /var/lib/pacman "root-cleanup" was introduced because of the old db format, and can be dropped soon (or make configurable), that would be ideal. I know that a configuration option for "skip-clean" is an overkill, but it is still better (imho) than this hardcoded lost+found.
