The reason tasksel is used is to make sure the same set of packages are installed on a diskless workstation as is installed on a normal workstation, and thus it was thought to be a good idea to use the same mechanism to install. When that is said, the reason the fallback mechanism og using aptitude install -y -q $(tasksel --task-packages education-workstation) isn't the default, is that I never found time to verify that it would install the same set of packages. I believe it does, with more feedback in the process if something go wrong, but I never ran a full test to compare the list of packages installed one way and the other. So I would suggest commenting out the 'tasksel install' call and use the aptitude install call instead if you run into problems. Then you should see in the log when the installation hang.
