I agree
Nice, especially to pick the most eye-candy software available to do a
task. For instance, in Gnome and KDE one can use Xine just fine, but
Totem integrates better in Gnome and it's just a front end for Xine.
Also, the interface is much simplified. Thus, if the user feels like
using Gnome, Totem will be installed automatically and Xine-ui removed.
The same should happen for other apps.
Yes that is a good point. New users oftn don't know of the benefit of the
one or other application, so the user should chose video, office,
internet, chat and get the best applications installed.
If the user nows hat he is doing, he could chose the aplication he wants
to additional ...

whatever it's not already in the CD should be transparently download
it as needed without asking for users -- or, just in case, give a choice
for Advanced installation where advanced users can fiddle with which
mirror and what flavor of Debian they want by default ( apt.conf ->
APT::Default-Release "unstable" || "testing" || "stable" ; )
I think here is an importand point. Such a desktop System shoul have its
own packages and apt server, because the packages on testing and unstable
changes to often, so that also a litle update or new software will cause a
hugh download and change.
Also there should be own security updates.
