Actually, it depends on which installer image was used. The "Debian
desktop environment" setting picks *a* desktop environment, but doesn't
tell you which one it will be. If you use a standard netinst-* or
firmware-* or dvd-1-* installer image, it will be GNOME 3. If you use
one of the various Live images, however, it could be something else.
