no metapackage for gnome
(I'm not on this list.)
I've noticed an inconsistency: apt-get install kde will install a
reasonably complete set of kde package, while apt-get install gnome
finds no package. Take a look at the kde metapackage; it would be nice
if gnome had a similar metapackage, to follow the principle of least
suprise.
Also such a metapackage for gnome would relieve us (Aj Towns, Randolph
Chung and myself) from having to maintain a list of the packages
required for a gnome environment in the 'desktop' task. Since none of us
uses gnome much AFAIK, that would be a good thing.
