I think one of the most important features Pacman lacks is the support for cryptographic package signatures.
As it is now, any malicious or compromised mirror could tamper with the packages.

I think this problem is well understood and the sollutions are present in at least apt-get, rpm and slapt-get so it wouldn't be too hard to implement it.
This task depends upon
