How do you select which AUR helpers archinstall allows to install? The wiki
has an extensive page which is moderated to limit self-promotion and avoid
bad/unmaintained software:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_helpers

I don't think that implementing this feature with a short allowlist will
avoid similar feature requests - people will just request to add helper X
instead of adding support for AUR helpers in general.

Yet implementing the feature basically adds the ability to install an
arbitrary package from AUR...
