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?The situation needs to be explained to new Debian users during the installation process, so that they can expect correctly what would happen by their selection in this menu. But the need for further explanation could fully be avoided by simply changing the menu to what is nicely suggested above, because the above suggested menu would prevent misunderstandings. The elsewhere already mentioned idea, to even add an option for letting a user select if a minimum version of the selected graphical desktop environment(s) should be installed, or if a more complete version including additionally recommended packages is preferred, would be perfect.I assume that we can all agree, that the experienced users will be able to deal with any version of that menu, especially as they would also know how to install their system using apt manually on the console and therefore might anyway not select anything in this menu. Consequently, this menu is more targeted to Debian beginners, and Debian beginners should be welcomed with unequivocal options to select from.Best regards, Marco!
