This is actually the case at the moment IIRC. Ubuntu has an own JEOS
script and doesn't reuse the debian one with some ubuntu specific
templates.

Full DVD. In fact I tried six different ones.

I did even more tests and now have an explanation why installation
without internet connection doesnt work: Remember, it tries to install
Gnome independently from which DVD you use. None of my DVDs included
Gnome. However installing the standard package (without any GUI) does
work without any internet connection. (This explains why ubuntu works
because I choosed ubuntu-desktop there. It is probably that any ubuntu
spinoff ISO with the ubuntu volume ID will not work without extra
handling.)

I tried leaving out the tasksel command in the hope that the default
value would do this, but we already discussed this. I don't see any
option besides guessing the desktop environment from the filename
(since the Volume IDs dont differ).
