Best solution:

Get rid of all parabola mirrors. Modify the repo database format to
include whether it's an unmodified arch package or not. Include arch
mirrorlist. Make a pacman plugin which fetches the package from arch
mirrors if it's an arch package or our server if it's just a Parabola
package.
