When clean-installing Debian 9.4 from "debian-9.4.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso" using the 
text-based interface, the following dialog appears.

| Software selection
| 
| At the moment, only the core of the system is installed.
| To tune the system to your needs, you can choose to install
| one or more of the following predefined collections of software.
| 
| [*]  Debian desktop environment
| [ ]    GNOME
| [ ]    Xfce
| [ ]    KDE
| [ ]    Cinnamon
| [ ]    MATE
| [ ]    LXDE
| [ ]  web server
| [*]  print server
| [ ]  SSH server
| [*]  standard system utilities

After the installation was performed with "Debian desktop environment" checked 
and "GNOME" unchecked, I found GNOME installed.

It seems that the following three combinations have exactly the same effect, 
but I am not sure.  Please confirm whether the following three combinations 
have exactly the same effect.  

| [*]  Debian desktop environment
| [ ]    GNOME

| [ ]  Debian desktop environment
| [*]    GNOME

| [*]  Debian desktop environment
| [*]    GNOME

Does checking "Debian desktop environment" have exactly the same effect as 
checking "GNOME"?
