I don't know. I saw the description when reviewing the "install gnome" factoid 
of dpkg, which reads "To install gnome on sarge or later, install gnome to 
install everything, install gnome-desktop-environment to install slightly 
less stuff, or install gnome-core to install even less, you will need x 
installed to use gnome, ask me about <set up x>"
I'm sure a GNOME user wouldn't let this factoid as-is, but anyway.

*I* don't need the change. I suppose derived distributions would appreciate 
though.
FWIW, *my* interest in the change I proposed is to get rid of the "to use on 
your [...] system." which *kind of* implies that everyone should use GNOME. 
But I think that the Debian branding part will be more irritating (for 
non-Debian users).

No real trouble, this is just a RFE.
