Dan states in a recent email, that the way he installs TDE would be to install a MINIMAL XFCE installation and then install TDE
Somebody stated you could install XFCE or MATE and then install TDE.
You can go that route but if you don't need XFCE or MATE just install Debian without a desktop and then install TDE from the command line.

Exactly as Mike says - you don't have to install any desktop environment. You can use any standard installation media (the best is netinstall or netboot because they are small), run the installation in "Expert" mode and in step to select tasks / packages for installation, select that you do not want to install any of the desktop environments. You get a bare system with a text console, where you then perform steps for TDE installation.
