I was interested in that too, so I did:

* install a fresh debian up to the point packake-select (the one before
  dselect) runs.
* switch with Alt-F2 to another console and login as root.
* make a backup-copy of all files & directories (pkgsel, profiles & tasks)
  to elsewhere.

Now you can play around with those files...

(Hope it helps)
