hm, I've added a definition to the wiki:
A Custom Debian Distribution (CDD) is a version of Debian that is tailored
for a particular situation/target group out-of-the-box.
Any changes necessary to Debian to support this particular situation/target

1. Encrypted mail preferred (GPG KeyID: 0x86624ABB)
2. Plain-text mail recommended since I move html and double
format mails to a low priority folder (they're mainly spam)
