  Description     : minimalist package manager using tarballs and scripts
 Pacman is a package manager typically used by ArchLinux and similar
 distributions. It features a simple design which is easy for packagers
 to create functional packages with, and utilizes a simple tarball-based
 package format.
 .
 Using Pacman directly will bypass the Debian packaging system, and
 therefore is not recommended. The recommended use of this package is
 for bootstraping ArchLinux chroots.

This package is being packaged to facilitate support for ArchLinux and other
pacman-using distributions as ApplianceKit guests (for both vserver and xen
installations).
