Regardless of what debconf questions are asked, the GUI should error
out in such cases before it tries connecting to dbus with an error
message that tells the user to add themselves to netdev if they want
to use wicd-gui. [Python tracebacks aren't particularly informative,
unfortunately.]
I'd personally suggest asking a debconf question at low priority since
there is a sensible default (no users get access).
