karaf-minimal is just a smaller distro then the normal karaf. It is released for each version of karaf. I guess Guillaume pointed you to this as an example of how to create your own custom distro.
There is no support to start karaf with a target platform. In practice debugging karaf distributions works quite well though. You simply start karaf with "karaf debug". Then go to the project you want to debug in eclipse and start a remote debugging session for it with port 5005. See http://karaf.apache.org/manual/latest/#_debugging This works very well for pure maven projects. I think it is not very well suited for tycho based projects.
