Bug#249232: tasksel "desktop environment" should be *either* KDE or GNOME, but not both



Package: installation-reports

(this is based on beta4 of d-i) 

Tasksel should be more granular. I generally just want to install the
GNOME environment. While I don't think that Debian should force a
particular desktop choice on a user, it probably doesn't make much sense
to have both installed.

Suggestion:
Break up "Desktop Environment" into a GNOME option and a KDE option. 

Better still to break it up into:
* Gnome Desktop Core (base libs + shell + misc apps)
* Gnome Office (abiword + gnumeric + ...)
* Gnome Games
* OpenOffice.org
* KDE Desktop Core (...)
* KDE Office (KOffice, KPresenter, ...)
* KDE Games
