so I'm a bit unsure of the wish: do you mean to package or set up new software not currently in debian or ubuntu; or do you mean to create a meta-package which sucks in a certain set of existing packages?
the latter is of course much easier, you could start by making a list of packages you'd like in each flavour in a new wiki page near: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc there are already a number of new "blends" metapackages already available from DebianGIS: http://packages.debian.org/sid/gis-gps http://packages.debian.org/sid/gis-osm http://packages.debian.org/sid/gis-statistics http://packages.debian.org/sid/gis-web http://packages.debian.org/sid/gis-workstation support via: http://packages.debian.org/sid/gis-tasks http://blends.alioth.debian.org/gis/tasks/ The Debian-Live (+ live-helper package) site can give you an idea of how multiple live discs can be easily built based on different package lists: http://live.debian.net packaging of new software apps is non-trival, but not impossible either. For that I suggest you say hello on the DebianGIS mailing list ( http://wiki.debian.org/DebianGis ) and read the Debian new maintainer's guide.
