Maybe Polish translation is faulty, then. In Polish it states:
"Podstawowe składniki środowiska graficznego Debiana", which I'd
translate to "Basic elements of Debian's DE". This, I think is
misleading: one thinks, that something very basic would be installed and
gets full-blown GNOME.

I sincerely think, that something like this should be done. IMO recently Ubuntu made a good decision to default to more stripped down GNOME. I think that Debian should do the same and default to gnome-core, with option to install Full GNOME. I think that more minimal approach is more in tune with Debian's policy than Ubuntu.
