I think this would be a good idea.  If the a majority of users need to
change default options, then the default should be changed.

Not really related to the dialog, but maybe, I mean maybe, we can
teach package tools to just go ahead download and install package, if
the options being chosen matches the package options, if the host
system meets certain criteria (e.g. is a supported release or
- -CURRENT) and the package is available?

Another idea is to collect the options from user, and send it as a
feedback (the user have reviewed the default and either accepted it,
or have changed).  This would help port maintainers to decide which
options should be made default, etc.

Cheers,
