Yes, absolutely.
These are the types of sets as I understand them:
install-core
-- what is needed on install media for creating a
self-bootstrapping system on some other media
(defined by boot-floppies and debian-installer)
base
-- what is needed for a self-bootstraping system
(defined by debootstrap)
required
-- packaged flagged as required
(defined by the archive)
