Something that is confusing is that when installing Debian with the
kernel boot parameter 'DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text', 'Debian desktop
environment' is not the desktop that is "accessible".
Furthermore, while I value the talking installer ("install Debian with
speatch"), the default desktop environment should be the one propose by
Debian.
A warning should be displayed saying something like "the 'debian desktop
environment' is currently less accessible then Mate".
I'll go back to a point I already raised, that is, the Debian talking
installer shouldn't presume the Debian defaults and ask for any changes
that involve accessibility.
