For debian-edu, we have udebs pulling in education-tasks in a
pre-pkgsel.d script. For isenkram, I expect users to install it first
and then run tasksel, or someone to decide that it should be done by
default in d-i (but have not pushed for this myself).

It is techincally possible, but not easy as the list of packages with
tasksel data is not trivial to extract from the archive. One could
use 'apt-file search' but it would force every installation to
download lots of data just to extract a few bytes. :)
