For new projects I think it makes much more sense to do the changes
needed inside of Debian and create a Debian Pure Blend instead of a
Debian derivative:

If you still plan to go ahead with creating a derivative, please
review our guidelines for derivatives:

wanting to alter the branding?

Others already pointed you to live-build. You could also look at the
tools used for building the Debian Installer and CDs:
