I guess it could be, that would be nice. I am not sure what we may
need to do with d-i to optionally display this selection dialog. I
think there is already something like this in d-i that would just have
to be turned back on. After all, that reminds me, Debian does have
those options weather you want to install a Desktop Workstation,
Database Server, etc... This might actually be fairly easy to turn on
if we take that route.

Additionally I found this:

These Instant Server meta-packages may be useful here as well. These
specialized Instant Servers could be combined to create a SBS in
addition to their originally intended purpose.
