I'm glad to see someone working on this. I hope you manage to find a consensus for some good default packages. If so, I would be happy to add this to tasksel, so that the desktop task automatically installs it if it detects a system that is not easily capable of running kde/gnome. Tasksel has the infrastructure needed to support doing this kind of thing, just a matter of finding appropriate heuristics to pick the right desktop variant in an unsuprising way. I think this would be better than a meta package because it would be available in the regular install, and it would avoid some of the issues with meta packages. -- see shy jo
