Yes, they are related.
The 'Packages-list:' field is only used by tasksel if 'Packages:' is set to
"task-fields". If 'Packages:' is set to "list", the packages must be listed
in the "Packages:" field itself.

The difference between 'Key:' and other packages is that the task is not
installable if "key" packages are not available; if "non-key" packages are
not available, they will simply be skipped.

I don't understand the question. You can just list them. Note that you
don't need to list dependencies: they will get pulled in automatically.
But I would advise against making one single task too big. It's probably
better to split it into several tasks of related packages.

No, sorry. I don't see any problem and I think it should work. But are you
sure that cron was installed by your task? It is 'Priority: important', so
it could also already have been installed by debootstrap.
