Be careful and don't include any Gnome/"Debian desktop".
When you select a desktop install with standard Debian you don't have
lot of control over what is installed. And that's even with an advanced
install.
Personally I use only Mate but it's riddled with Gnome components that I
can't easily remove. For instance the Gnome NetworkManager widget is
installed despite me not using NetworkManager and I can't find a way to
remove it.
On other O/S you could (can?) generate a 'packing list' of all the
components you wanted to install and use that to build your system. I
expect Debian 11 has that ability but it's not something that is
immediately obvious.
