Tasksel should be more granular. I generally just want to install the
GNOME environment. While I don't think that Debian should force a
particular desktop choice on a user, it probably doesn't make much sense
to have both installed.

This is a general wishlist item for the installer, but I wasn't sure
what package to file this against. Please reroute it as needed.
