can you fix dependencies for tasksel?
I'd like to be able to to install full-featured desktop environments to choose from.

The dependencies are all broken at the moment and uninstallable, it works just fine in debian jessie however

is this fixable?

If you are on depin ther will be no support for foreign desktop environments at all. So there is no chance foor xfce mate and so one. Because Deepin is first of all the cool deepin dde. If you like to use other stuff use an other distro and you'll be fine

You can do simple trick. In /etc/apt/sources.list you can add debian SID repository, update and then install whatever you need to install. It's really simple and it's your copy of deepin and you have right to do whatever you want with it, you can even install other desktops if they are in sid repository.
add this in to your sources.list:
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free

Update:
I was able to install every desktop environment except for KDE using the sid repository, thanks!

KDE wanted to remove everything related to DDE for some reason

You really have a bad attitude. Please be nice and gentle. There is no problem in the original question. Why shouldn't Deepin maintain compatibility with Debian and allow the concurrent install of different desktop environments? Even if it wouldn't allow it your attitude is simply wrong and bad.

I disagree. No official support yes, but enforcing users not to be able to use it then no. If it comes the day that Deepin forces users to not use any other software than the one that Deepin offers it's the day that I'll stop using it. The beauty of Linux is the diversity and options available. You are free to choose. Deepin is based on Debian, so it's natural to expect to be able to run all or most of the software that runs on Debian. Even if it requires some tweaking.
