If by choosing "Desktop" Debian would install gnome, I´d be very 
frustrated, as I don´t use gnome. If Debian choose to install kde, 
certainly other gnome users would be frustrated. If Debian, 
democratically, decides to install both, and, to end the question for 
good, a bunch of other *boxes, people would start whining Debian is 
bloated. If Debian asks 'which one you want' during installation, people 
would say its very hard to install Debian, a newbie can´t have all this 
info...". If, finally, Debian leaves no graph. env. at all, people would 
say "no DM, the Debian folks have gone crazy!..".
You can´t please all the people all the time.
