When I first asked about this, the reasoning for putting Gnome and Kde on different CDs was because they each were too big to put on the same CD.

This is not true of the DVD.

But this means that there is even less of a hint what "desktop" is going to be installed when "desktop" is selected. At the same time, there is less excuse for not putting additional options into tasksel.

It all comes down to the use of the word "desktop" without any indication of what that desktop it is.

If I could wave my magic wand, the CD would be -gnome instead of nothing, to match the other CDs, and the DVD would have at least desktop-Gnome, desktop-Kde and desktop-minimal.

But oh well, I'm not a developer. Just a user. And a nearly 100% satisfied one at that. Maybe that's what makes this invisible default so frustrating, Debian is so very good in most other ways.

Do you need help?
