Dear Maintainer, the file `hw-detect.finish-install.d/08hw-detect` contains the function `detect_desktop`, which guesses whether the system being installed is a desktop. The guess is simple: it's a desktop if either task-desktop or xserver-xorg-core is installed. Note that some Debian derivatives (like Kali Linux) don't install task-desktop, so it's important to also check another package like xserver-xorg-core. It used to work well, however xorg is being slowly phased out, and lately the Kali GNOME installations doesn't have xserver-xorg-core installed. Maybe it's due to gdm3 that dropped its "Recommends: xserver-xorg" in version 49.2-3. So we need a better fallback to detect a Wayland desktop in case task-desktop is not installed. It seems that libwayland-server0 is a good candidate for that, it's a dependency of libkwin6, libmutter-18-0, sway, libwlroot-0.19, phoc, and more. A merge request is available at: https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/hw-detect/-/merge_requests/17 Thanks, Arnaud
