Ah yes, from your comments about the symlinks I now see what you're doing.

It looks like you are one of those users for whom we invented expert and
medium priority installs. For both the installer will return you to the
main menu after each installation step allowing you to do what you want
before you yourself select to proceed with the next step.
This is documented in the manual, so enjoy RTFM.
Closing this wishlist item as I'm very sure no one on the project is going
to support adding an extra dialog at default priority for the reasons you
give.
