Uh... how about we avoid hand-holding. I think the following would be more
appropriate:
"Your system level is set to 'newbie', but the package you are attempting to
select is rated "complexity-rating", and should not be installed
unless you know what you're doing. Do you know what you're doing? [y/N]"
That also allows for someone knowledgeable to install something for a newbie,
without requiring one to turn off the newbie feature.
