I think there should be packages that are equivalent to the profiles
and tasks in the boot disks (so users can add a task later).
Preferably, the profiles and tasks should be derived from the packages
(so they stay synchronized).

Your suggestions on slimming down the profiles and tasks sound fine to
me.  For example, I don't think we should be installing emacs19 by
default.
