I'm not sure why you advocate only documenting this in the manual,
instead of changing the default…

oh, yes, sigh. no idea about diskspace on ftp/a.s.no, but this is
definitly demotivating. (the diskspace issues on that machine have been
a problem for 10 years now.)

maybe we can use the minidebconf in hamburg to get usuable
debian-edu-buster images build on debian.org infrastructure…

again: my suggestion was to change the default because KDE is broken. I
really dont get why you suggest to keep KDE and then to document that
people should not use it.
