AzraelNightwalker: we should check out other distro's tools, namely:
[http://revisor.fedoraunity.org/ Fedora's Revisor]
[http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/KIWI openSUSE's KIWI]
and see how they work.
Also there are some existing Ubuntu tools:
[http://uck.sourceforge.net/ UCK] - Ubuntu Customization Kit
[http://reconstructor.aperantis.com/ Reconstructor] - Reconstructor
[http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility DRU] - Disc Remastering Utility
[http://wiki.debian.org/CDDT Custom Debian Distribution Toolkit] - work in progress
[http://www.remastersys.klikit.org/ Remastersys] - a tool for making a livecd from your Ubuntu installation
[http://www.gnewsense.org/Builder/Builder Builder] - gNewSense builder script
Besides, we could also work with Debian on a common tool:
[http://wiki.debian.org/CustomDebian CDD] - Custom Debian Distributions on Debian Wiki
There is a new spec that might supersede this: CustomisedIsoImageTools
Another new project: [http://launchpad.net/unidistro Unidistro] - A framework to create and maintain a Debian/Ubuntu derivative distro
