To me it would seem more reasonable to install the flags by default. Then the 
anti-whatever extremists could just remove them, and the more relaxed among 
us would see the user interface the way the authors intended without jumping 
through additional hoops.

To make it easy to remove all flags there could be a ban-flags package that 
would conflict with all the -flags subpackages.
