I wondered that, "default" is usually what happens if you just press enter
given a YES, no
choice. The dialogue should probably be something like
"If you don't select an alternative GNOME will be installed"

What would happen if a user did not want Gnome? Note that the present
dialog caters for this situation.

Is the "Debian desktop environment" Gnome plus other things ? In which case the way it is makes sense.
