have you tried the package debian-cd? its normally used to make full installation
cds from a mirror, but AFAIK it allows you to select the packages that go on the
cds (via selecting tasks, i'm only using COMPLETE=1). maybe you can use it for
your purposes.
i know that's not much, but possibly it points you in the right direction.
