I recently found the install script mechanism quite inefficient (and I'm sure many other people have noticed it as well).
for example,if I install the texlive-most group, after every package installed, mktexlsr would run once. But actually, the only one that is necessary is the last one.
So I think if pacman could run every same install script only once, this would speed pacman up a lot (especially when you haven't upgrade for two months!)

Pacman can help you with the dependencies but is oblivious to things like mktexlsr. Currently installing / uninstalling texlive is a PITA, but pacman deals with packages not "bundles". You can alter the PKGBUILDs if you like - abs is there for you.

It seems the project called pacman-g2 had already done this, right?
Hope this feature would quickly get into pacman ; )

It will get into pacman when somebody submits patches.
Edit: it looks like that pacman-g2 hooks are limited to those that are always run before or after the upgrade. So that would only allow you to run mktexlsr after every upgrade which is even less efficient...
