having done a few small rebuilds I think using the ubuntu seed/germinate method probably makes more sense than package-by-package replacement -- the latter is rather painstaking an difficult to automate. Unfortunately I'm not running ubuntu on any of my own systems right now (!), and gemrinate won't install on debian/sid. As I understand it, one downloads the current seeds from http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/seeds/breezy then modifies them and runs germinate (first feeding itt he right parameters of course). THen someohw one uses the germinate output to generate a cd. If it really works as automatically as is claimed, then it should actually be quite a bit easier than modifying a ubuntu cd by hand...
