Details

Pacman should have a feature to provide the modification information that is visible in -Qii through -Qo. For example, it could look like this:

$ pacman -Qoo /etc/rc.conf /etc/inittab
NOT MODIFIED /etc/inittab
MODIFIED /etc/rc.conf

Right now, you have to get the package names with -Qo and then get the -Qii information for those packages. Pacman will then check all backup files in the packages, instead of just the ones you want information about.
