mini.iso (AKA netboot) might be a better place to start. It already
includes tasksel. I have used this to build a no GUI audio system.

It may be possible to start with this as a base for our own set of seeds
too. However, that would require us to build our own default desktop from
scratch as well. I don't think we have the resources to do that right now.
Even Xubuntu hasn't tried that and they have more people... and more
problems with trying to keep their ISO < 700Mb.
