Summary and Info:

Some progams use pacman -Qu to guess how many packages are upgradable.
Unfortunatly, pacman -Qu doesn't take in consideration IgnorePkg (and probably IgnoreGroup) as filtering parameter.
As a consequency, those programs always display update availables.

Step to reproduce:
$ grep grub /etc/pacman.conf
IgnorePkg = grub2-bios grub2-common
$ pacman -Su
:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: grub2-bios: ignoring package upgrade (1:1.99-6 => 1:2.00beta2-1)
warning: grub2-common: ignoring package upgrade (1:1.99-6 => 1:2.00beta2-1)
there is nothing to do
$ pacman -Qu
grub2-bios 1:1.99-6
grub2-common 1:1.99-6
This task depends upon

i don't think that this is a bug, mostly because --ignore isn't even a flag for pacman -Q mostly because since it isn't updating, there is no need to ignore them

use pacman -Su --print

I agree that "pacman -Su --print" is the answer here, but given this is a multi-time request, how much work would it take to add that filter?

pacman -Su --print is perfect for me. I'll patch the program.
