Instead of using pseudo-packages, the packages which comprise a
task are listed in tasksel. This information is then encoded in
the Task: field in the available file. That way, if a package is
missing is will be silently omitted, rather than causing the rest
to be uninstallable. You'd probably have to list the packages
directly though, rather than just listing the junior-* packages.
You can see http://cvs.debian.org/tasksel for more information.
