AFAICT this implementation meant we wouldn't need to touch debconf
frontends to teach them about some minimal tree-like structure…

… and that looks like an attempt to work around a limitation in debconf
frontends by replacing a kludge with another one.


Regardless of the documentation aspect that you haven't replied to, it
looks to me like we're not really talking about “Removing hierarchical
structure for desktop environments”, but we're talking about removing
task-desktop from the equation entirely, and I think this is a rather
different discussion.
