Hmm, that sounds really cool!
As for the perspective broader than just live-CDs and the two stages of debix 
you mentioned:

Maybe you'd like to call the two parts non-persistent (COW) disk support and 
autoconfig for debian. And maybe debian-knoppix could also be thought of a 
stepstone to a future generic debian-autoconfig (for CD, HD, Flash, ROM, 
PXE-Netboot etc. images)

Those are just my thoughts on the "think about the name" part.

I also had a look in what section discover, kudzu, and hotplug are in. (admin, 
utils, admin) And I found the package gibraltar-bootsupport which is also in 
the admin section and manages /etc and /var on their CD.
