The tasksel control file is created according to the packages available
in the target distribution (in the same manner as the metapackages).
[Perhaps I'm missing the point of your question.]

There is no need for an extra iso - just build for your target
distribution which can in principle point to a private Packages file of
a private distribution - that's why I assume that it should work for
Ubuntu and the result will be the set of packages in Ubuntu.  So it
should work for any other Debian derivative.

Kind regards
