Re: LEAN Debian install: Exploring task selection menu

I agree with Richard's criticism and would suggest to not present that
first line "Debian desktop environment" at all, because it is redundant

because no wanting GNOME, but does not image what the first line might
contain, then he will be surprised that GNOME became anyway fully
installed after the first line was still selected, a behaviour which
makes no sense after the second line was explicitly not selected. It is
especially annoying if you did this selection "mistake" on slow or
expensive bandwidth. When I first time did this mistake, I thought, hey,
maybe for a desktop they will install already something like network
manager and other network managing tools or a tiny collection of
enhanced editors like vim instead of vi only, maybe some other cute
utilities. But I ended up with looong time downloading and installing a
full blown GNOME which I actually wanted to avoid and therefore did
unselect the second line initially.
