See the tasksel documentation, you only need to provide a file on
/usr/share/tasksel/YOUR_TASK.desc with the tasks you want to provide.
If you choose one of your tasks instead of the debian ones you have what you
want (you can select your task on a presseding, if you only want one
installation flavour).
Ah, to install your tasksel description you need to install your package
before base-config is run, I do that with an script that installs the
packages before base-config is run, the script is provided by an udeb that
installs a file on the installer's /usr/lib/prebaseconfig.d/ dir, but you can
do it using other hooks, see:
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/d-i/trunk/installer/doc/devel/available-hooks.txt
to see available hooks.
Hope that helps, greetings,
Sergio.
