The installer already enables the user to make this choice. I suppose it's under a kind of obscure boot option, which would explain why so many usually well-informed people apparently don't know about it. Take a look under "Advanced options" -> "Alternative desktop environments" next time you boot the installer. Whether those options would be more visible/discoverable under tasksel instead of the boot menu is certainly open for debate, but it's not likely to change for wheezy.
