I don't think the current installer asks too many questions. The timezone and locale are unavoidable. The disk partitioning is unavoidable unless you want to make an express-disk-wiper image :-). Perhaps the right answer is to prefix the tasksel question with a pre-question, asking the user to choose between Default desktop install Choose selection(s) of packages ("tasks") Then the tasksel menu becomes less critical.
