hm i was wrong. i've pushed a fix for makepkg which avoids running -Su
two times without modifying pacman. the idea:

  the old method was:
  -Syu --noconfirm (upgrade all or upgrade pacman only)
  -Su --noconfirm (do nothing or upgrade all)
  the new method:
  -Sy $PACMAN --ask 95 (upgrade pacman if no newer version available)
  -Su (upgrade all)

the trick is the already existing --ask option. 95 is 0x01 + 0x02 + 0x04
+ 0x08 + 0x10 + 0x40, almost the same as --noconfirm but it won't say
yes to the "local version is up2date, upgrade anyway?" question

please test, it seems to be okay here

udv / greetings,
VMiklos
