Some people already started looking into it. It's a pretty common need not
only for CDDs.
"dcontrol" aims for it. Info can also be found on

A mailing list has also been created.

There may not be a drop in replacement for all this now. Working towards a
good configuration system as dcontrol mid-term looks like a good idea to me
though.
