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.

I had to intall "dirmngr" to get "apt-key" to work. It is not part of base + standard utils tasks.
"apt install dirmngr"
greg
Thanks - I had already installed dirmngr . Still couldn't get the GPG key. After a bit of googling I found a similar issue where the solution offered was to ping keys.gnupg.net and then to replace keys.gnupg.net with the IP address identified in the ping output when using the apt-key adv command.
This worked for me - although I am not entirely sure why. I presume that some GPG related package was not included in the Debian base+standard utils install.
Trinity desktop now installed and running

Cool, for the archives,\
I noticed after my "dirmngr" repone that it is a part of the "intallation instructions", havee not read them in some time :-)
The instruction to install the key ( keys.gnupg.net keyserver) worked here on a new base + standard, thankfull for interent search.
Greg
Because problems with key servers availability are too common, I added the axis-archive-keyring package to the apt repository - see the description added on wiki.
Cheers

Thanks Slávek. Thought I would give this a try . It did resolve mirror.xcer.cz but the connection then timed out over 5 tries. Perhaps someone else might try this in case for some reason my IP address is a factor ? Ping mirror.xcer.cz also failed. I do have a working internet connection as ping google.ie (my country Google domain) was absolutely fine with no packet loss Padraig
