The maketag and maketag.ez files are identical with all packages selected by default. And menu and expert mode are actually the same thing (as the installer tells you).
I propose a simple way to make use of these options.
A short (manageable) ADD list and a short (manageable) OPT list.
The packages in the ADD list are tagged ADD and selected by default in expert and menu mode. They are hidden in menu mode (always installed).
The packages in OPT are tagged OPT and are not selected by default in menu and expert mode, they are installed in full mode only (or if selected from the menu).
The rest of the packages are tagged REC. They are selected by default in menu mode, but not in expert mode.
Here is a script to create tagfile maketag and maketag.ez using simple ADD and OPT files:
