I wouldn't say they differ. Ubuntu targets only a small subset of Debian users. Maybe Debian should simply split the Desktop task in tasksel into two entries: * Desktop - basic: Simple minimal GNOME installation pretty much as it is now, maybe with even less software preinstalled. (I was surprised by the ammount of software that came along with it). * Desktop - stand alone: End-user desktop enviroment where we can safely add fancy integration tricks and extra components that Ubuntu does as well.
