This will lead to more confusion and/or more code:

- the wizard is only for DB BE layouts. The integrator either misses the 
wizard completely (if it is also disabled if the switch says TSconfig) 
or the wizard doesn't work (because the DB records are simply ignored)
- there is a wizard for both DB and TSconfig base BE layouts. More code 
to maintain and to keep in sync
- TSconfig BE layouts are enabled. An extension can add BE layouts, but 
an integrator cannot add DB BE layouts
- DB BE layouts are enabled. An extension which tries to add BE layouts 
doesn't work
- extension switches from DB BE layouts to TSconfig BE layouts. The BE 
layouts created by the integrator don't work anymore.

I'm still in favour of either DB base or TSconfig base BE layouts.
In case of TSconfig, the wizard must be changed and an Install Tool 
upgrade wizard must be made.
