 This was already suggested in #14601 with a reply there explaining that it
 will need some refactoring to make this possible.

 I have made a change to add a "don't ask again" button in https://review
 .haiku-os.org/c/haiku/+/6398 , but it will need a bit more work to add
 saving and restoring the user choice, as well as some more GUI to allow
 changing the choice later on.

 Personally, I like to be asked each time I start Debugger, because I do
 use debuginfo packages for the things I'm looking at, and sometimes want
 to install them.

 I think one other thing we should look into is reducing the number of
 libraries we load into each executable, the media kit with ffmpeg and the
 translation kit with all the translators load quite a bit of things that
 in most cases never get used, we should try to do more lazy-loading in
 both of these, so that we load the external libraries and translators only
 when they are really needed. This would cut down on the number of messages
 to get through and also reduce RAM usage overall.
