Why not ask in the installer while the password and user name is set if the directory should be readable or not? One line with a checkbox and an explanation would be enough. After installation the gnome user manager should ask the same question if a new user is added. Everyone who uses console tools will know what to do I guess so there is no priority for it. I guess the only point of discussion is the default configuration. For me there is no problem if it is enabled per default when there is a configuration line in the installer/user configuration.
