Well a package installer can't have the knowledge which would be required to
determine such a decision.
E.g. though a user could be connected via a fast connection he may have a
limited download contingent or could be charged at a high rate per download
volume.
I.e. I don't see a possibility but to leave the final decision to the user.
Did you even read my mail? The point is there shouldn't be a choice to
be made in the first place. Which makes "how to choose what" moot.
