Hi dd@. (M-F-T was set so respecting it; but adding -boot@ anyway.)

For the record I concur with your analysis (be it with my casual DD hat or with my d-i release guy hat). On a related note: I've meant to investigate maybe making it easier to install an alternative desktop (having to think about it at the syslinux prompt is quite suboptimal to say the least), but I haven't been able to work on that yet. If such an improvement would come to existence, that would probably be another obstacle removed from the path of people who want to install a non-default desktop. (Right now I have to concentrate on getting regressions fixed to release a beta 1.) Mraw, KiBi.
