Hi,

Sorry that your bug report went unattended for this long.

cinnamon-desktop-environment is intended to be a 
"fully fledged desktop", i.e. it is the intention of the 
package to provide a complete desktop with all of the 
graphical apps that a user would possibly want. If you 
only want the cinnamon window manager and related 
applications, then you can install cinnamon-core instead, 
which depends only on the things that are really needed.

This is already reflected in the current descriptions, but 
in any case, the next upload of cinnamon-desktop-environment 
will include improved descriptions and more alternatives for 
the mentioned packages.

Regards,
Marga
