Its a known bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-kickstart/+bug/21214), you will need to add the packages manually to your ks.cfg file. So once you get to the package selection part save the file (File>Save File) then open up the file with a text editor and manually add the packages. Make sure you start with %packages then under that list the packages you want to install. eg

%packages
@ ubuntu-desktop
ftp
openssh-server
bsdmainutils
emacs21-common
emacs21-bin-common
libungif4g
xaw3dg
emacs21
emacsen-common
liblockfile1
libapr0
chess
binutils
gcc-4.0
So afterwards the ks.cfg file would look something like:

#Generated by Kickstart Configurator
#platform=x86

#System language
lang en_US
#Language modules to install
langsupport en_US
#System keyboard
keyboard us
#System mouse
mouse
#System timezone
timezone America/New_York
#Root password
rootpw --disabled
#Initial user
user karl --fullname "karl" --iscrypted --password $1$tNU2BbnT$VX/2/60.GsgAoM6LEl8qs1
#Reboot after installation

#Use text mode install

#Do not configure the X Window System
