-Dk just sits around for a while then exits if there are no errors. If there are no errors, inform the world so that they may rejoice.

Isn't the 0 exit status good enough? If you really need verbosity:

pacman -Dk && echo "All OK"

The same could be said for "-Su" when there are no updates, yet we let people know there is nothing to do.

I don't think that's a fair comparison. -Su is a *much* more complex operation.

Maybe as a middle ground, suppress it with -Dqk?

I just submitted a patch to the pacman-dev mailing list which implements this. -Dk also supports the --quiet flag now so the output can be suppressed.
