debian-boot is for discussion and problems with installing the base
system.  I'm forwarding this to debian-user, a list that can better
help with this sort of question.

Try installing some of the task-* packages :
dwhedon@klecker:~$ apt-cache search task-
task-c++-dev - Development in C++
task-c-dev - Development in C
task-chinese-s - Simplified Chinese environment
task-chinese-t - Traditional Chinese environment
task-database-pg - PostgreSQL database
task-debian-devel - Debian package development
task-debug - Debugging of C, C++, Objective C and friends
 . . . . 

Then apt-get install the tasks you want.

-David
