It is a Broken As Designed (BAD). It depends if not installing KDE is accidental, i.e. somebody forgot to add the KDE subtask to the desktop task, or if it is intentional, i.e. somebody decided not to add the KDE subtask. Since this is about a Debian installer, I see no reason to believe that it has been intentional. Debian developers responsible for base infrastructure do not impose personal choices, I am pretty sure such a misbehavior wouldn't be tolerated by the rest of them. Cheers, Kevin
