[manjaro-dev] next pacman

[Philip Müller]

Currently it is just manjaro-systems. I rather recommend to make it 
configurable. For example with the SyncFirst= line or some extra config 
file if needed. If we just create a function for just one package it 
would make not much sense. Some people still have added the keyring 
packages in SyncFirst= line. If you can config it it is much more 
flexible for later needs.
