Nope, it only asks you if the -u switch is absent. In that case, the question is asked only once per sync operation. > If it only asks on 'pacman -Sy <package>' then its ok for me.

One problem I see with only printing a warning is that the user doesn't have the option not to synchronize at this point and just rerun pacman without the -y switch to install their package.
