Nice. :-)

It helps to bring your own interests and goals. Debian is a "do-acracy" where those who do stuff (write patches, maintain code, debug, document, etc.) get to decide.

Debian-derivatives is for discussing distros that derive from Debian, as I understand it.

I use antiX/Swift Linux, and I dual-boot with Puppy Linux for its PBurn and iso2cd programs that provide verification WITHOUT bloat. I want to provide PBurn and iso2cd for my Swift Linux users, and I think that users of other Debian-based distros would also appreciate lightweight CD/DVD burning programs that offer verification without bloat.
Have you packaged these programs for Debian? Are they already in Debian?
