Maybe something like: Reset dimensions. Which acts at fit to page
(proportional) for large image dimensions; in other cases the embedded
dimensions are used

Well not directed to me... but for the record: I surely don't want to be
inserted or reset to actual dimensions. Images are often stored at 72 dpi with
16 megapixels or more. Result: insanely large images dimensions (based on DPI).
The 'original size' button shouldn't do this either, IMHO. It's not
useful/sensible/practical, if you ask me 

Draw example
1. Insert the attached image into draw (image shrinks to page on insertion;
fine)
2. You can increase the size by stretching it with the corners of the image
(page size is not a hard limit in Draw, it is in Writer: annoying)
3. Right click the image -> Select Original size (unpractical end-result)

So insertion: fit to page (proportionally) for large images, in other cases
else embedded size (across the board; Writer, Impress, Draw, Calc)

The Writer page size shouldn't be hard limit, ideally. However the current
behaviour isn't to problematic. My primary concerns: (a) Images losing
proportions (b) the label not matching what it actually does in case of Writer.
