I would be interested if there were.  I've never seen such an option
previously.

When I did my test evaluation installs of Stretch RC3 a few weeks ago, I
used the LXDE install disk since LXDE uses Openbox as its window
manager, the one I prefer, to save time instead of messing with the
Expert Mode, which I normally use.

I'm about to do a final test install in VirtualBox before doing it for
real, but it won't be tomorrow.  Maybe in a week.

Let the list know what you discover.

Thanks
