The question is asked at medium priority, so on default systems it
won't be asked (and proofgeenral will be auto-loaded).

I usually fight against useless debconf templates enough but that one
didn't really ring a bell in my head. I find it pretty legitimate. One
should remember that this question will be asked only for people who
explicitely choose to install proofgeneral. So, they're pretty likely
to not really worry about one extra question about something they
choose to install.

The fact that other packages that can be activated either for all
users or for specific users only do not offer such choice is not
really important: after all, one could also wonder why these packages
do not prompt their users for general activation, in an attempt to
improve usability.
