Where can that list be found? It looks correct, but different from the
one in tasksel.
(Although seriously, WTF menu? It’s not even activated by default.)

So one of the solutions would be to ditch Recommends.

Like Steve asked, I wonder whether there is a need for a CD other than
netinst at all.

Full GNOME is already not included, since that would be the “gnome”
package, not “gnome-desktop-environment”.
If you really want to make it fit on a CD, we could use the following
list instead of the one above:
gnome-core
dmz-cursor-theme
epiphany-browser (or iceweasel, but epiphany should be smaller)
gdm3
desktop-base
evince
file-roller
gnome-about
gnome-keyring
gnome-screensaver
gnome-themes
gnome-user-guide
gtk2-engines
gvfs-backends
libgnome2-perl (unless someone finally fixes #542175)
policykit-1-gnome
gnome-disk-utility
And if possible:
gstreamer0.10-alsa
gstreamer0.10-plugins-base
gstreamer0.10-plugins-good
totem
evolution
I can make a metapackage out of this list if it can help.
Cheers,
