I know at least of one such process and its the one used at metadistros
(metadistros.hispalinux.es). The tool in this case is called 'calzador'.
IIRC it basicly depends on having a chroot environment set with the OS
image you want to burn and it adds that together with the bootup stuff.

There's still much to do in order to develop said script but some projects
were trying to automate this process. It still remains to see if these
scripts are going to be reusable and could be included in Debian.
