Bug#712696: debian-installer: Add Cinnamon and Mate as alternative DEs.



Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist

While most think as Mate and Cinnamon only as forks of Gnome (2 and 3
respectively), both are now full DEs, with their own features. Thanks to Linux
Mint people pushing them, they've gained a noticeable userbase.

Cinnamon has many option lacking in Gnome Shell, and way more customization
capabilites. Mate is loved by Gnome Panel nostalgics, and it's the perfect
first DE for people coming from Windows.

I think it would be a good idea to include them both alongside Gnome, KDE, Xfce
and LXDE.
