we will still have a centralized package, especially for shared
material like images etc ... (kind of -common package arch. all).

splitting will address this use-case:

joe user wants his Debian GNOME branding and not extra stuff he
doesn't use ie kdm/ksplash/whatever.

jane is an advanced user. she uses Debian KDE and doesn't want extra
dependency like librsvg2-common.

desktop-base will be a meta-package for all desktops. it will depends on:
desktop-base-common
desktop-base-gnome
desktop-base-kde
desktop-base-xfce
etc...
