You appear to want to install MATE manually without Recommends, rather
than within the d-i and with Recommends. In that case, you should
install task-mate-desktop, not just mate-desktop-environment:
Package: task-mate-desktop
Depends: tasksel (= 3.53), task-desktop, mate-desktop-environment, lightdm
Recommends: gimp, synaptic, libreoffice, libreoffice-help-en-us, mythes-en-us, hunspell-en-us, hyphen-en-us, network-manager-gnome, orca, libreoffice-gtk3
Description: MATE
This task package is used to install the Debian desktop, featuring
the MATE desktop environment, and with other packages that Debian users
expect to have available on the desktop.
Cheers,
David.
