The patch also needs task-gnustep-desktop added as an option to
task-desktop, otherwise the live image ships with gnome:
Package: task-desktop
Version: 3.39
Priority: optional
Section: tasks
Source: tasksel
Maintainer: Debian Install System Team <debian-boot@lists.debian.org>
Installed-Size: 6,144 B
Depends: tasksel (= 3.39), xorg, xserver-xorg-video-all,
xserver-xorg-input-all, desktop-base
Recommends: task-gnome-desktop | task-xfce-desktop | task-kde-desktop
| task-lxde-desktop | task-cinnamon-desktop | task-mate-desktop |
task-lxqt-desktop | task-gnustep-desktop, xdg-utils, avahi-daemon,
libnss-mdns, anacron, eject, iw, alsa-utils
Also, a question - your patch does not include default applications
like firefox, gimp etc, which the other desktop environments ship
with. I understand there are gnustep alternatives to these, is this
why you did not include them?
