Thank you for working on this!

Hi @0mp would you mind if I take a stab at extending this patch a bit further or maybe you would like to extend it?
For some context, I am currently working on adding a precompiled option to NanoBSD as part of a GSoC project. It requires using pkgbase, however I found it very useful to also add distribution sets for comparison. As such, we have decided to adopt bsdinstall's configuration options, that is, defining a NANO_DISTRIBUTIONS variable with the distributions you want in the final image. I'm pointing users to this manual page for more information about DISTRIBUTIONS.
My extension will consist of presenting more verbose distribution set information (obtained from the MANIFEST), which includes all the valid options the user can choose:
base-dbg.txz "Base system debug info" off base.txz "Base system" on kernel-dbg.txz "Kernel debug info" on kernel.txz "Kernel" on lib32-dbg.txz "32-bit compatibility libraries (Debugging)" off lib32.txz "32-bit compatibility libraries" on ports.txz "Ports tree" off src.txz "System source tree" off tests.txz "Test suite" off
The third column is what bsdinstall selects by default when running interactively (for reasons beyond my understanding, I would have selected base.txz kernel.txz by default as well).
