This can be debated. The reason is that if asked at installation
time, there is a high risk that it can not be honored at upgrades
(in case the admin change something manually). In that case that
is considered as a release critical bug. This is why I do no longer
do that kind of automated things and instead document how it should
be done.
You should always read the README.Debian file for the software
you intend to use.
With this I'm closing the bug.
You can file a new wishlist bug for the automated install that
you describe above, if you want.
Thanks anyway for reporting.
Best regards,
