Sort of both.
You select udebs for download, which should use tree menus and not a
flat list.
Then they add menu items to the main menu, which should be a tree too.
And thirdly after/during installing base you have the configure
options of the debs via debconf. A menu to change some values would be
nice there too. So you can answere only neccessary questions while
unpacking and then go and pocke some packages for more detailed
options.
