Those are pretty self documented regarding this aspect through
rpm -qpil:

drakx-installer-advertising:
  the ads displayed while installing packages

drakx-installer-binaries:
   the stage1 needed to bootstrap the stage2 (network(ftp|http|nfs|...)/cd/hd
   method choice)
  as well as the rescue GUI (when typing "rescue" at install CD's prompt)

drakx-installer-images:
  various bits needed to build the install media (CDs, ...):
  - boot kernel + needed modules
  - alternative boot kernel
  - isolinux + its conf
  - the mini iso (build from stage1 & stage2)
  (needs d-i-binaries to be build)

drakx-installer-rescue:
  the actual rescue contents (all tools needed for rescue) as a squasfs image
  (needs d-i-binaries to be build)

drakx-installer-stage2:
  the installer stage2: the part that starts X, autoconfigure HW &
  install packages
  (as a squasfs image)

Latest bit is meta-task that provides rpmsrate which defines which
packages will get installed
