Pacman's not being verbose enough

I've got a minor 'bug' i may want to report on pacman:

i've got a package listed as IgnorePkg in pacman.config, and so pacman asks me this question when i do a sysupgrade:

xine-lib requires libgl-dri, but it is in IgnorePkg.  Install anyway? [Y/n]

From reading this i do not know if it's going to install libgl-dri or xine-lib and in my opinion it should state this like so:
Install $package anyway?

I realize this is being a little picky but i came across this a few times before and this time i thought 'why not report this, it's sort of a bug after all'. I'm sure many can be helped - if only a little - by improving this.

Anyway; should i make a bugreport out of this?

Thank you.

A feature request, not a bug report.
