Check for task-* packages.
fw2:/mnt# apt-cache search ^task | grep C
task-chinese-s - Simplified Chinese environment
task-chinese-t - Traditional Chinese environment
task-c-dev - Development in C
task-objc-dev - Development in Objective C
task-c++-dev - Development in C++
task-debug - Debugging of C, C++, Objective C and friends
fw2:/mnt#
You can probably leave out the Chinese tasks :).
This with apt-get is what makes debian rock. It's new and there are still
some refinements needed, but it's awesome.
Also, check out aptitude (and gnome-apt for Xwin). It's supposed to be
really great. I'll check it out someday...

That should be part of the task-x-window-system package. Yes, it's
confusing, but it's even more simplifying :).

Rocks, non? :)
