After the installation was performed with "Debian desktop environment" checked and
"GNOME" unchecked, I found GNOME installed.
It seems that the following three combinations have exactly the same effect,
but I am not sure. Please confirm whether the following three combinations
have exactly the same effect.

Does checking "Debian desktop environment" have exactly the same effect as checking
"GNOME"?
Yes.
I think the goal of the menu design was to accommodate a first time user

If you chose "Debian desktop environment" AND a specific desktop, the
specific choice overrides.
