If you want to control more precisely which packages get installed, you can also install a text-only system and then add the additional packages with the package manager. It won't give the same results and isn't as flexible as Debootstrap or Multistrap, of course.It isn't Debian that installs all those packages. It's the DE. All anyone has to do to avoid them is not install a DE. You are given the option.Sorry to disagree here, but the packages brought in by LXDE (particularily the Recommends:) are determined by the maintainer. Also, getting LXDE from tasksel is not the same as with 'apt-get install lxde'.
As bought in by the LXDE packages of *Debian*, because of the decision of a *Debian* developer. You missed the “Debian” part.
Someone who wanted a customised LXDE installation would not be using tasksel or 'apt-get install lxde'. Someone who does use either of these methods gets what Debian decides is useful for most users.
I agree. Note that this does not contradict the claim that what I called “extras” (LibreOffice, etc.) are installed by Debian. Also note that I mentioned the Debian 7.0.2 LXDE CD, not apt-get nor tasksel.
