You should check out kde-core and gnome-core. These are both minimal packs for installing a very basic kde/gnome desktop with extraneous material. the *-desktop-environment packs tend to depend on these anyway. Then if you look at the various dependencies of the *-desktop-environments you can pick and choose what you want to install/run and choose not to install gnome-games, etc if you don't want to. This is something that Debian does really well, there's nothing worse that having to download packages you don't need or want and have it taking up HD space needlessly.
