Stopping "package: local (version) is newer than repo (version)" msg?

Is there a way to stop pacman from outputting warning messages of the format in this post's subject line, telling me that my local version of some package is newer than what's in the sync DB? I understand that it's useful for telling me if my repo goes backward in time, but most of the time that I see this message, it's because I built a newer version myself and therefore know very well that mine is newer. Especially in the case of official/community packages that remain out of date for a long time, it becomes rather annoying to see this message every time I update.

Maybe this could become a debug message rather than a warning? Or maybe there could be a pacman.conf knob for turning it off? (I looked at writing a patch to implement such a knob, but then I'd have to decide what to do about all the OTHER messages in alpm_sync_sysupgrade that have much of the same logic behind them.)

Create a repo and add your packages to it.

That brings me head-on against problems in a previous strategy I tried for solving the high-level goal I'm working toward: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=80356
