Yes, the question should be asked for all installs, but with a low
priority. I can't think of a criterion on which to decide whether to
ask it or not and I also don't believe that having such criterion
would be useful.

What I wanted to say by "For most cases" is that I believe that having
the _default_ to not write wireless config in /e/n/i is good, and this
would work for most installs (but obviously not for the case you
mentioned). I wasn't thinking of asking the questions is "some cases"
and not in others. I hope it's more clear now :)
