Also there is a test in tests/desktop, if enough RAM is installed, to make sense for a desktop environment to be installed. The actual value is 64MB, from the beginning of this logic, thus it's 19 years old. So, if less than 64MB of RAM is installed, the desktop task will not be pre-selected. Should we update this to real world as well?
IMO it should be updated or removed. Keeping obsolete/useless code makes no sense.
In https://d-i.debian.org/manual/en.amd64/ch03s04.html we recommend at least 2GB of RAM for desktop systems. I could think of using this value for the above check as well, or maybe the double of it.
Matching the recommended RAM size sounds fair, assuming it is realistic.
