Sorry, but this is not quite true (would be nice if it was). According
to the README in the tasksel source, it uses files in /usr/share/tasksel:

Allerdings kann man neue Pakete vorhandenen tasks oft (nicht immer)
relativ bequem hinzufügen indem man sie für apt zugänglich macht und in
ihrem control-File eine Feld "Task: <task1>[, <task2>[...]]" einfügt:
