I think there's no need to make any change about the DE options for the
first DVD, current ones (gnome, kde, xfce and lxde, AFAIK) are OK as long
as the installation menu is adapted to ask the user which DE to install
or to no install a DE at all.

Netinst media and other install options are not the main subject of this
thread.
