I suspect it is better to do this as a separate udeb, say
desktop-chooser, which when pulled into debian-installer will ask for
what desktop to use.

It would be usable in the normal debian installation and also by Debian
Edu. :)

Options should probably be Gnome, KDE, LXDE, Sugar, but there might be
some desktops I have forgotten.  I suspect for our use we need to limit
the options a bit.
