At this moment customized Debian CDs can only be made on a Debian system, and
I don't think anyone here feels any need to change that. But you only need a
Debian system to make the CD image; once you have that you can burn CDs of it
on any OS you like.

(As a sidenote, if you sell Debian CDs (esp. customized ones), users are
likely to contact you for some limited support. So you can give better service
if you have some Debian experience yourself, or a machine with Debian
installed to try out if things work the way you think/would like ;-)
