Maybe that's actually a feature of pacman, to show packages that 'provide' the corresponding package?

pkg_pacman: Check for exact package names
07e9196 
When package A provides package B, the call "pacman -Q B" returns the
info of package A:

    $ pacman -Qi crda
    Name            : wireless-regdb
    ...
    Provides        : crda

This can create issues like #688: Users were unable to remove package B.

To solve this, have pkg_pacman look at the output of "pacman -Qq" and
search for exact matches.
