Note that I'm just thinking out load here. For a real discussion you will have to talk to the tasksel maintainer. It should be possibly to define tasks for CDDs and have them included in tasksel, but I do not think they will ever be displayed by default in the regular tasksel or for regular installations. After all, we are talking about custom debian _distributions_. The next question is if these tasks should be defined on the mirrors as well, or only in the tasksel-data package (or maybe even in separate tasksel-<cdd>-data packages). Maybe an option would be to have a internal, preseedable template "tasksel/context" that could be set to "Debian", "Debian edu", "<other CDD>" and that would determine which tasks are displayed. This template could then be preseeded as part of the CD building process, which would also ensure the correct set of tasks is included on the CDs in the preferred order of the CDD. This could even be an "higher level" alternative to what Joey has just implemented in the latest tasksel release to support the different desktop environments by defining "Debian Gnome", "Debian KDE" and "Debian Xfce" as contexts.
