its a good idea, how about this as a distribution-making tool: based on debian (could be anything but debian seems to have the most packages) the supporters of this tool build a group of customized distributions such as a network managing distribution that uses customized kernel and packages to make the basic distro, perhaps it is also tailored to fit on one CD so that the network admin can carry it around with him. Another package might be a secure/hardened distribution with custom kernel and packages. From these basic distribution packages you can combine them to make (continuing our example) a hardened network administrating distro for your (the network admin's) own computer. Now obviously there are some tweaks that need to be done (how much security vs. network options) but the basic idea is that its very easy to make LFS distros by using prebuilt packages
