debian does NOT have a default desktop. i can't find the written
details for it though.
however there is:
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-desktop/
i would prefer separate entries:
gnome
kde
gnustep
since all of the gui toolkits have rather different feel and look,
that makes them not perfect to work together.
solution:
rename "default desktop" to "gnome and kde" or whatever
other nice to have:
before starting to install "Default Desktop" check if destination
has enough free space.
thank you

I realize that many people don't like it, but until there is a clear
winner in the GNOME vs KDE wars or a consensus in Debian to make one or
the other the only desktop installed by the desktop task, or a third
more viable candidate, both will continue to be installed, and there
will continue to be only one task, called "desktop", whose description
explains that it includes both.
