Is this "Minimal GNOME" a typical use case?
We cannot add entries for all possible variations, only the typical ones.
If you have special requirements, you can do this by hand.
In the installer, don't select a desktop environment, only choose the
"standard system" task.
Then login into your new system as root and call
"apt install gnome-core"
to get your "Minimal GNOME" for example.
