Well, I think that the force of PDK is that is a rather general and
flexible tool, which can be used both to generate fully
Debian-contained CDDs, which are released when Debian is released, and
"independent" derivatives too, where external means that 1) there
might be additional packages which are not included in Debian 2) they
have a different release schedule than Debian. So it's a matter of how
you use it..

Actually there are plans to add support for it (I suggested it myself
[0]:), and it would be relatively easy.
