Comment(by warmerdam):

 Interesting point.  The question about installing shortcuts currently only
 applies to the ones generated internally by the installer rather than by
 the per-package install scripts.  This usually just means the OSGeo4W
 commandline icon.

 Some thought should be given to either removing this question from the
 installer or making all the installer scripts honour the answer.  This
 would also likely require us asking earlier.

 I'm personally in favor of just removing the question since it would be
 easiest and making all the scripts honour the answer would be a great deal
 of work.
