The last Debian install I have done was for jessie (netinst).  Like
every recent version of Debian before that, it runs tasksel near
the end.  Inside the tasksel dialog, a desktop environment is selected
by default.  If you UNSELECT that (press space to remove the checkmark
or X or whatever the indicator is), you get Debian without a desktop
environment.  At that point you can keep it X-less for a server, or
install xorg and fvwm and rxvt-unicode, or GNOME, or whatever you like.

Sure, if you *don't change the default selection*, you probably get
GNOME.  Is that what you meant by "don't actually select anything"?
Just accepting whatever the default is, without reading or changing
what's on the screen?
