I guess, you speak about the list you started above. Well, this is a
task, which could be helpful indeed. I guess, the best thing we can
do actually is to close that normal bug at tasksel and open a
wishlist bug against tetex-bin and ask for a file
/usr/share/doc/tetex-bin/helpful-packages.txt, where we can put into
a short list of packages and their descriptions.
