For all the problems OdyX mentioned from testing, I've found a single cause and filed bug #705435. I've updated this page to demonstrate a functioning GNOME desktop on GNU/kFreeBSD: https://wiki.debian.org/Debian_GNU/kFreeBSD_Desktop#Wheezy_GNOME

If the severity of this is downgraded, that as an incentive for this to be missed out of any NMU or refused an unblock. I felt certain this was an RC bug and/or policy violation. A package, a task, a whole desktop environment became uninstallable on two release architectures. We still have a tasksel option for GNOME (fails with apt error 100 due to this) and CD's are being built with its packages.
