Exactly this is my intention - perhaps your wording was quite more clearly.

Well, but why not providing those packages officially. These would not
be the only packages which are just providing some scripts. In my opinion the
ideal situation would be to be able to get an identical copy (with the
exception of the actual locations of the files in the filesystem) of
a Knoppix CD via some scripts which mostly use my local Debian mirror.

If this would be necessary to reach the goal mentioned above we should
definitely do so.
