What should do it for us? You're not expected to change providers
often (xfree86 -> xorg being an example). What shouldn't prompt every
time you cast a spell? If you mean asking what should provide FOO,
then it does ask every time, but defaults to what has already been
chosen for FOO further up the chain or is already installed or the
first on the list if none of the above (unless you used `sorcery
default add` to set it ;)).
