apt-get install dpkg-multicd
(I think this should be in the dselect tutorial section of the debian install
manual but it isn't - I'll submit a bug report to install-doc unless someone
knows why I shouldn't)
Then you will have access to the multicd method in dselect. There are
instructions for using it in the debian installation manual -> Advanced
Package Selection with dselect -> dselect tutorial:
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/dselect-beginner
You can also add multiple cd's to your sources with apt-cdrom.
Just put a cd in and type "apt-cdrom add", or "apt-cdrom -cdrom /mountpoint
add" if it can't find your cd. "man apt-cdrom" for more info. Then you
could use
apt-get remove packagename and
apt-get install packagename
to re-install packages.

I don't know about this, but it looks like tasksel only installs packages
that aren't installed yet. You might have to remove them with another
package like apt-get, aptitude, or dselect before installing them again.
