Instead of asking for it to remove the sources each time a package is
installed, why not tally it all up and as the last step, users can select if
they want sources or not, and if they do, they can select which ones they
want, with an option to select them all. This is a much better user
experience than requiring the user to be there throughout the entire install
process.
