Not that I know of, but I would be interested in it as well.
One very important feature is hardware detection in the installer
and including some X configuration.
Others probably include the Debian-Edu/Skolelinux and debian-med efforts
which boosted the number of educational packages and those with a medical
background.
It it works, another important feature would be a single 2.4 kernel for
all architectures supporting 2.4. There are similar plans for 2.6 iirc.
