I think Rodolfo had read:

[note: your quoting method for this wikitext
makes it appear that I wrote it.]
and I agree that the sentence "You have to install all end-user
applications later" is incorrect.
I think it's a case of Caveat Lector because this is a wiki page.
"There are four options to install GNOME in Debian:"
I'm counting five in the following list.
"GNOME (core only) gnome-core package This is a minimalist GNOME
installation"
People are minimalists, installations can be minimal. This one
obviously isn't the latter, and doesn't itself claim to be.
"(You have to install all end-user applications later)."
Even Iceweasel is a dependency of gnome-core. I didn't know that
Mozilla is a part of gnome.
... so there's *one* end-user application already installed for a start.
"Above packages depend on this one."
What does "above" mean? gnome-core appears not to depend on
gnome-accessibility, the item immediately above it in the list.
(Notwithstanding that gnome-accessibility is actually a package in
squeeze, not wheezy.)
Cheers,
David.
