Go for it. Have fun. Document and read. There has been quite some discussion
on this subject.
My only comment is that apt will likely be on a boot disk near you real soon
so libc++ is there too.
Make not of dpkg's short comings. Aim for compatibility. Remember the creed
of "debian always has clean upgrades".
And place a cvs somewhere so interested parties can join in the fray.
