I use this script to split up the packages for the release discs.
Here's the one I used for the 4.4 release.

bento:/a/steve/4.4/RELEASE/i386/scripts/print-cdrom-packages.sh

I believe this is a slightly modified version of the one that I
got from olgeni upon Jordan's recomendation.

Indeed.  I'd rather not see KDE or GNOME at all on the first
disc but some don't feel that way and will probably call me
a heretic for saying it.  Jordan wrote print-cdrom-packages.sh
as a yardstick that I use when doing the "split" to guage what
people want on the discs for a release.  Other than that the
squeaky wheel usually get greased first.  No offense to David but
he's usually one of them not because he's trying to be a pain
mind you he just cares a great deal about the release and
doesn't mind hounding me until I make sure I get vim for instance
on the first disc.

Before we go off willy-nilly making changes to this script we
need to take some sort of poll (like I did several releases
ago) to get a sense for what people feel *must* be on the first
disc.  The nice-to-haves can go on the other discs.  And just
so people understand I define must-haves as being those things
that absolutely must be present on the first boot of the box.
For instance, the kernel, init, and sh are definitely essential
for the first boot whereas xspringies and ocaml are not.
