The code that validates/updates ${PKGDIR}/Packages can be slow on network filesystems, so it would be nice to have an option to trust ${PKGDIR}/Packages implicitly/

This feature eliminates overhead involved with detection of packages that have been manually added or removed, which significantly improves performance in some cases, such as when PKGDIR resides on a high-latency network file system.
