Cool! I'm very much looking forward to discuss and do this! And, as
development to lenny (the next debian-version after etch) has not even really
begun, we also have a good chance to achieve that!
For lenny we (skolelinux/debian-edu) also would like to achieve that the
skolelinux-CDs only contain packages from debian, not special ones like we
have now for etch (and had for sarge and woody). Thats only a few packages
and sometimes even only the version of the package is different, but still.
Actually, as you are based on debian integration of linex in debian-edu fits
well in our current setting: the german and french debian-edu teams also use
slighty modified versions of debian-edu (via an add-on cd), so we need
locally tweaked CDs anyway.
BTW, I've submitted a workshop about these issues for debconf7 as well. (The
topic is something like "building CDDs inside of lenny" or so)

/me nods - unfortunatly I don't really have an idea how to collobarate in
practice with ubuntu based distributions on a larger level. For (single)
packages it can work...

As said: very cool!
