What sources are you using in /etc/apt/sources.list?

I ask because libgd1 1.8.4-17.woody2 and libgd1-noxpm 1.8.4-17.woody2 
should be available to you.

Did the apt-get update (or dselect Update) fail?

Are you choosing to not run dselect after tasksel? Ilve never tried 
doing that so don't know how it works or doesn't work. Try running 
dselect with Update, Select and Install.
