if you go here http://www.kubuntu.org/ you will read

Kubuntu, making your PC friendly

and if you know what is ubuntu you should understand that ubuntu is NOT a
distro for testing software
it's linux made simple for end-user. you wanna support rekonq well make an
icon that will install rekonq instead here we got the opposite.

if you do a good installer the first things will be

* the partition stuff
*software to install

*keyboard language and user password stuff

then the computer can do all the installation by itself wihout user actions

so adding a question is good , users are not stupid i think a more question
will not kill them expecially if they want install linux that is not a
ultra easy task.
