That's not exactly a new thought.
But if you're going to display a question anyway (at whatever priority), 
it really would be *much* cleaner to implement it in tasksel itself. For 
one thing, it is much more difficult for the installer to determine 
correctly which desktops are actually installable. Tasksel already 
contains all the functionality required for than.
