The simple answer, there is no duplications, TDE adds only Trinity apps.

Installing Debian there is the option to not install a DE during the install.
I install "base + standard" then follow the directions on the wiki.

I have standarized on TDE so having only one DE is my preference. I add non
Trinity apps (+depends) as needed.

Thanks Greg,

Your suggestion as to how to install Debian worked.

Because I installed Stretch I had to follow the wiki page https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Preliminary_Stable_Builds

Adding the repos to the sources list went fine but now I am stuck on trying to install the GPG key - I keep getting "connection refused" from keys.gnupg.net keyserver.
