Yes, indeed. That is one of the concerns our designers have had with the
devassistant approach to setup. Doing it from 'inside the IDE' is easier
to discover if you already have the IDE installed.

Thankfully, all these things are complementary to each other - we can
make devassistant offer to set up gedit-code-assistance, and we can also
have gedit itself offer integrated setup. Both of these should of course
be aware of the current environment, and not offer to install
gedit-code-assistant if it is already there.
