pacman -S --dbonly pkg && pacman -S pkg

I'd also lend my voice to remove the option. Following the BBS and the
IRC, it seems this almost always causes more harm than good. And even
though almost every case of its causing a problem is user error, if
there's not really much benefit from keeping the option, then it seems
sensible to remove it.
All the best,
