I think you can: desktop-profiles.

BTW, the debian-edu packages are using this technique and it is planed
to include support for this in the CDD framework.  There is a long
standing offer from my side to start building Debian Junior packages
using cdd-dev which might drastically simplyfy things.  Some work
into this direction was done by me in 2004 and is not up to date any
more.  I injected it into CDD SVN anyway at

    http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/cdd/projects/junior/trunk/debian-junior/?rev=0&sc=0

and I volunteer to update them to current state in case you ask
me to do so.  The extra advantage you would get are nice overview
pages like

    http://cdd.alioth.debian.org/science/tasks/   or
    http://cdd.alioth.debian.org/edu/tasks/

for free.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
