It would be great with such reduced desctop option. Not only for
elderly people, but also for office use.
To do this, the debian-edu package will need some restructuring. I
would suggest to add a new tasksel test to select the wanted desktop
facet. The edu packages could be moved into separate tasks and only
installed when the edu facet is enabled.
I suspect this block in deskto-other is the part to drop for non-edu
installs:
Recommends: education-astronomy, education-chemistry, \
education-electronics, education-geography, \
education-graphics, education-language, \
education-logic-games, education-mathematics, \
education-music, education-physics, education-misc
Why: Include all educational tasks proposed by Linex.
If you want to work on this, I can provide ideas and be a sparring
partner if you need someone to discuss this with. :)
