I'm just going to respond once, quickly.  That page shows that
desktop-base has no 'depends' only 'suggests' and 'recommends', so an
'apt-get desktop-base' for example won't install anything else by default.
This 'internal fact sheet' you mentioned elsewhere I can't find anywhere
in debian, so I'm just going to say: it'll work better if you don't mix
Xandros and Debian!
