As long as they are lowered to Recommends, it shouldn't matter any more
if they are uninstallable on a particular arch?
A consequence of Depends was that they would have been prioritised for
GNOME CD1. If we can't do it that way, we may be able to accomplish
this using debian-cd's scripts such as tasks/wheezy/Debian-gnome or forcd1.
As a bonus, I suspect packages in a task's Recommends get installed
automatically, as long as they are present on the available install media?

During wheezy development, GNOME 3 was so broken for us that xfce was
chosen as a default for new installs. Multiple show-stopper issues got
fixed during the freeze though. At this point I believe it 'should
work' but so few people have probably tried a full GNU/kFreeBSD Wheezy
GNOME desktop yet, and neither have I...
