I don't have an installation image locally to test this as I write, but
your messages indicate that the graphical desktop options are by default

be disabled as normal, would that not address the "noob" issue without
frustrating those who know they don't want a desktop environment?

Last time my attention wavered when I was doing a net-install I landed up with
Gnome.  I would expect that the net installation still defaults to a Gnome
desktop.  I will try to test this in the near future.

If run from Jessie's DVD 1 of 13, if Desktop is selected but without a specific D.E. selected, you get Gnome.
