To the Debian Installer Team, Whoever decided to eliminate granular package selection and force everyone into broad, opaque tasksel bundles completely missed the point of basic system architecture. Forcing an experienced administrator through an automated bottleneck that defaults to heavy desktop bloat, only to require them to manually purge that junk post-boot, is an utterly broken and brain-damaged workflow.
An experienced administrator will have no problem using preseeding or install the bare minimum and only install required PKGs.
In other words, there is no need to have to purge PKGs after installation. -- John Doe
