The toolkit is still evolving, but the web API and export format is
quite stable so we can easily track tools using those. The moving
targets are mostly hidden within the server, and I doubt it is any use
to put that on a live CD.

Yes, with root access to get debootstrap working.

Yes. I suspect it is a good idea to use the tasksel task I started on
in svn to maintain the package lists.

Yes.
In addition, we need some system to populate the initial databases and
to update them.
