[Libosinfo] [PATCH] debian: Add desktop install-script

Hello,

the patch below introduces an installation script for debian. I tested
it with gnome-boxes after applying the patches from
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730640

It currently installs debian without asking any questions. However
there are two issues I couldn't solve yet:

1. The script does install GNOME as the only desktop environment.

As I understand it the desktop package I use in this command:
 tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard desktop
should use the appropriate desktop package for the given ISO. This doesn't work.

Furthermore the several debian ISOs (e.g. KDE and lxde) have the same volume ID.

2. The script does not work without questions when no internet
connection is present.

I appreciate any comments.

Greetings,

Lasse Schuirmann
