That is the Key packages from the gnome-desktop and desktop tasks in
tasksel.

I was wrong about recommends being included currently.

Well, that is included in the task as a non-key package, so is
downloaded if possible. (And should be included on the DVD, assuming all
of gnome fits on a DVD :)

We should probably do that. That's enough of gnome not to be laughable?
(network-manager-gnome seems to not be included in that, but then it's
recommended by the gnome-metapackage so would not be included from the
current gnome-desktop-enviromnent using task either, if installing w/o
a network, I think..)
