Ah, good, just the person I was hoping would weigh in on this issue!

If you only check Office without General, on the customize screen you
will only see the Office task's groups selected.  However, I believe the
package dependencies will then pull in all the required packages, which
should cover most of the desktop stuff.

There's a lot of "should" and "most" in that last sentence, though.  It
seems like General should also pull in all of Office, and now we're
talking task dependencies, and that's pretty awful.
