Agreed. Where the menu says "Debian desktop environment" I would:
     1. remove the check-box.
     2. rephrase it as "Chose a Debian desktop environment".
     3. add a default check by GNOME.

YES, Exactly this!

That's it? You and Richard Owlett would jettison the ability of a user
to install task-desktop? All in the cause of some ill defined objective
that both of you are incapable of explaining and defending even after
the situation has been explained to you?


I guess what is not clear to me includes (and I did some googling while taking
a break from yardwork):

    * does task-desktop provide some functionality that would not be installed
if the user requested GNOME, KDE, ...?

    * does task-desktop provide some functionality that would work without one
of the other listed DEs (GNOME, KDE, ...)?
* and, for extra credit, what is the functionality that task-desktop
provides that is not included with any of the DEs?

All three of these questions have been answered twice.


If answered {which I doubt}, the explicit answers to those explicit questions were not conveyed to readers.

P.S. Note a repetition?
