After installing Debian it's only a matter of installing the metapackage
you're interested in.

On wheezy there is the gis-tasks package which adds the Debian GIS
package groups to tasksel. After installing the dis-tasks package you
can run `tasksel` and select the package group to install.

Which packages are contained within a metapackage can be seen on the
Blends website:

http://blends.debian.org/gis/tasks/packagelist

On a desktop you'll most likely want to install at least the Workstation
task that contains most of the packages.

On jessie you can also install the metapackages directly from apt, e.g.

 aptitude install gis-workstation

Kind Regards,

Bas
