I think this is orthogonal to the question of adding it to
=E2=80=98%desktop-services=E2=80=99 since the installation image doesn=E2=
=80=99t rely on
=E2=80=98%desktop-services=E2=80=99.

Nevertheless, this will all be a matter of size, usability, and
documentation.  If it adds =E2=80=9Ctoo much=E2=80=9D to the size of the in=
stallation
image, I=E2=80=99d be rather against it.

If we do add it to the installation image, then we=E2=80=99ll have to docum=
ent
it a little.

But then, at this point we should also consider adding NetworkManager to
the installation image.

WDYT?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
