I am sure there is no work required to port kiwi, only thing missing is image descriptions for other distros, description consists of xml file config.xml which lists the packages you want to install in the image, installation sources and image type you want to build. Once you look at descritpion we have for kiwi-ltsp it would become obvious how easy it is, all the suse specific names of package would have to be replaced with other distro package names and it should work. KIWI does not use mkinitrd/initramfs-tools to create boot images as they tend to become more distro specific. Kiwi is so flexible and easy to use system, I would love to have LTSP6 use it as default image management tool for all distros. Give our implementation of LTSP5 - KIWI-LTSP a try to know what I mean.
