Mmm... you must mean this:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu_OEM_Installer_Overview

And it seems Linux Mint and Trisquel both provide an ISO for doing 
something similar:

Installing Linux Mint 12 in OEM mode
http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/747

OEM Installation
http://trisquel.info/en/wiki/oem-installation

For Debian I've only found this same question asked in the forum:

oem-config-prepare for Debian
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=48537

It would be nice having such a tool ("oem-config") here. If the OP is 
interested maybe he can suggest it to be packaged (ITP):
