AIUI, Devuan strives to be versatile, not necessarily compact. That would be a characteristic of some (in want of a better word) Devuan "flavor" provided by a downstream project. I'm not sure this is the formal reading, and if I got it right at all. > how then, could you provide the > elements needed for the installation of a desktop environment by > tasksel in the installer?

Not sure, but I don't think mechanisms like that are easy to implement, nor do I think it'd be wise to do so. After all, the Devuan project would have no control over the contents of such "use at own risk" packages. NB, all of the above reflects just my personal views, none of it is backed by any "official" statements I am aware of.
