 something very basic would be 
 installed and gets full-blown GNOME.

 Ubuntu made a good decision to default to more stripped down GNOME. I think 
 that Debian should do the same and default to gnome-core, with option to 
 install Full GNOME. I think 
 that more minimal approach is more in tune with Debian's policy than Ubuntu. 
  
 Please open a separate bug for the specific request of adding a 
 minimal GNOME option ("task") to Debian's installer. 
  
 I think bug 1119018 should be closed because there is not interest now 
 in having the "Debian desktop environment" option change to install a 
 different task than how it already works. It cannot default to a 
 "minimal GNOME" task because that task does not exist yet. You need 
 the other bug fixed first. 
  
 Thank you,
