Great, but as Iceweasel is missing, installation should still fail?
Iceweasel is only a soft dependency of the libreoffice binary
package,
so you should be able to install without the browser. Or install the
individual components (libreoffice-writer etc.), which have no
relation
with the browser.
Tasksel still fails: task-gnome-desktop Depends: gnome-core which is
not going to be installed

Hello Marcus and all
I 'got around' the tasksel problem by following a suggestion of Sam's
(see mailing list archives around early Dec) so that I could actually
try out the desktop and some applications.
The installation on a Thinkpad laptop with ath5 based wifi went like
this...
* Boot from the mini.iso and enable networking (I used wifi)
* When you reach the tasksel stage, unselect the Desktop task, install
the other three tasks
* Reboot into a command line on the installed system
* Become root and add lines to /etc/network/interfaces to allow either
a wired or wireless connection (see Debian Networking wiki page for
instructions)
* (Become root if not already) and apt-get install
network-manager-gnome gnome-shell gdm3 epiphany-browser to get a basic
desktop with Web browser
* Remove or comment out the temporary lines that you added in
/etc/network/interfaces and reboot
* You should see the graphical log-in screen and be able to connect to
wifi using network-manager-gnome when you log in
* Install other packages as needed
I'm sure we won't need to use work-arounds soon enough.
Cheers
