Description:
When installing a batch of packages, it is often that when post-install script display messages, the total length of those messages exceeds the console screen capacity (40 lines or so).
It would be nice if those messages were also routed to a pacman log file, so that one can check them afterwards.
Sometimes those messages are critical for the correct behaviour of the package.

Additional info:
* package version(s) N/A
* config and/or log files etc. N/A


Steps to reproduce: N/A
This task depends upon

AFAIK these things are logged in /var/log/pacman.log.
