I would like to see the way changed, how package selection for the different
desktops is managed:
Instead of maintaining a list of packages per desktop in tasksel (thus
in task-*-desktop), managed by the installer-team (that has no deep insight,
which package makes sense to be included in the respective desktops), we
would like to move to one (or more) meta packages per desktop, which are
maintained by the respective desktop teams, and that tasksel depends on.
GNOME recently went this way already: there are two meta packages for
the GNOME desktop ('gnome-core' and 'gnome'), and task-gnome-desktop
simply depends on them.
That way, GNOME people can easily control, which packages they would
like to have included in a GNOME desktop installation performed by the
debian-installer / tasksel.
