I think this is a good idea, but I'd suggest using a different model
to build your sets - use.  You could have Uses like:

C-Developer
X11-Developer
Apache-Host
...

The Uses would not be mutually exclusive.  A user would check all the
things he'd might want to do, and those packages would get pulled in.
Don't worry about how to implement this.  Try to get a reasonable list
of packages together.

Implementing this would most simply be a checkbox which provides input
to 'dpkg --set-selections'.  The script would then call `dselect
-install' to do the work.  This is pretty easy to add to the basedisk
scripts.  This is something we could implement for hamm easily enough.
