Package: pkgsel
Severity: normal
Hi,
when installing Debian on a Laptop with the graphical installer,
in the menu "Software Selection" (which I suppose is generated by
pkgsel as there is a dpkg --configure pkgsel process hanging around
while the Software Selection screen is shown) is "Desktop
environment", "Laptop" and "Standard system" ticked.
When I untick "Desktop Environment", leaving only "Laptop" and
"Standard system" ticket, the system happily downloads a truckload of
x.org packages, and I suppose that it is also installing them
(installation has not yet finished, so I cannot verify).
Greetings
Marc

That is an explanation.
