Re: Where does Debian define/specify "standard bundles"?
You appear to be wanting to know the dependancies for packages,
whereas, installinux appears to run a distros installer.
If you want tasksel, it is part of the Debian install process. the
regular (Debian suggested) desktop environment is Gnome, but you can
choose between Gnome, KDE, XFCE, or LXDE on installation. OR, install
a 'standard system' & then boot into it & run apt-get install (or use
aptitude) to install your choice of programs, such as Xorg & a window
manager, or a desktop environment, & programs for office work, web
browsing, etc.
All necessary (open source) dependancies will be installed
automatically for you.
