I think that it is a little bit silly to have all of these Ubuntu

Yabbit. "Host" the package lists and then make them available? Does
that involve having to have an Internet connection during install?
Maybe that'd fly for a "power user" distro, but not Ubuntu. And the
variety of configurations available for Ubuntu surely wouldn't fit on
a single CD. And we are talking CD, not DVD, for Ubuntu Lite's target
audience.
Not quite what I had in mind. By hosting, I was thinking more on the
lines of having the forums, support, and description page. It
wouldn't be hard to have even hundreds of different package lists
ship on the CDs (they compress well).
