Hi,

I did some test by installing 2 identical virtualbox instances (EFI 
turned on) with the same netinst image <debian-11.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso>.

I typically use XFCE, so I wanted to test if leaving "Debian desktop 
environment" marked would affect or not my XFCE installation.

It does.

a)
| [ ]  Debian desktop environment
| [*]    XFCE

b)
| [*]  Debian desktop environment
| [*]    XFCE

Using (b), I end up with 12 more installed packages.  I checked that 
there weren't any available upgrades after installing both (apt-get 
update && apt-get upgrade showed 0).

The offending list is:

hv3
libsqlite3-tcl
libtcl8.6
libtk-img
libtk8.6
tcl
tcl-tls
tcl8.6
tcllib
tk
tk-html3
tk8.6

Maybe there's a bug somewhere in tasksel?

I did some tests running tasksel again after the installation, and were 
intriguing, but I'll hold the deeper tests for after this is inspected.

Cheers,

Alex
