I proposed this for Ubuntu GNOME 17.04. There was interest in enabling
the connectivity check in the default Ubuntu install too, but there
wasn't enough time to handle this well before 17.04.

Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre thought it would be better for users if there
was a handy toggle switch (likely in gnome-control-center's Privacy
panel) before this feature was rolled out. At least for Ubuntu
Desktop, it doesn't really matter then whether the implementation is a
separate package or if gnome-control-center writes the config to an
appropriate file itself.

The tracking bug for that is https://bugzilla.gnome.org/737362

Thanks,
Jeremy
