I've prepared a desktop-integration branch:
- adjusting the description for the tablet one only:
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/tasksel/-/commit/c45ed5a55553da4b8eaeade606ff6182844854cb
- introducing a test stub to hide the tablet from within the
installer (only):
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/tasksel/-/commit/4f2f6c350701f9630e646afdae60a946645f7c74
- making sure existing desktops stay in the same order while making
room for new ones:
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/tasksel/-/commit/eaa7aa4f174d5cda48f6ef951efff432d5b8841d
- ensuring Lomiri and Phosh are at the bottom:
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/tasksel/-/commit/a966e23d3e140bec3b607f8588a4fd385408599c
- documenting what I did:
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/tasksel/-/commit/e0a0bc36375281061956fce59c7d9a35764894f9
This seems to behave as I intended it, see attached screenshots during
(grayscaled) and after installation. (Note that I unmarked all tasks
that had been initially marked for installation, so the empty
selection in the second screenshot is entirely normal.)
Would that make sense for Lomiri people? Or would you prefer another
approach regarding the full vs. tablet Lomiri tasks?

Still true.
