Bug#843645: Username unconditionally checked

[Alexandre Viau]

I don't think that this is a bug, unless you point me somewhere in the
Debian Policy that states that this is indeed a bug.

We want to make Ring as easy to use as possible for non-technical users,
and choosing good defaults is important. This is why we check the box by
default. We also think that looking up usernames as you type is much
more user friendly.

Please prove me wrong If I am and I will be happy to get this fixed.

There is an ongoing effort to make privacy breaches a part of the Debian
Policy here:
 - https://bugs.debian.org/726998

However, this specific bug only talks about documentation.

If this is indeed a bug, I would fix it by adding a configure flag to
the gnome client that would allow changing the default state of the
checkbox.

I will wait a little bit for your answer, then I will mark this bug as
wontfix and close it.

Cheers,
