As no one has come with a better implementation, I will try to use
Bruce's pkgsel for the next boot-floppies set (ETA this weekend), but we
still need someone to generate the list of packages for all those
categories you are suggesting. I'm quoting below Bruce's message about
how to generate "categories". I ask all of you who would like to see your
favourite category on the list to try to generate the category file and
send it to me (or to debian-devel).
