Packages show up in the package selection area based on entries in the comps
file. The comps file for the installer is created on the fly by pungi, but
merging together the comps metadata out of all the yum repos used to create
the spin. I've done some fairly extensive package selection changes myself by
simply putting the comps file I wanted into a private yum repo w/my custom
packages. Not sure if its particularly well documented anywhere, but its
definitely doable. Google around for MythDora (version 5) to see an example
of a modified F8 installer.
