I'm still working on it. My first amateurish attempt (work in
progress) is at http://developer.linuxtag.net/knoppix/ . The
package sources are also there, but I forgot to copy the
.dsc files, so the source index has not been generated properly yet.

You can always create packages from a current Knoppix-CD using
dpkg-repack --root=/KNOPPIX/ packagename

I don't know if somebody plans to do this. cloop is already there,
thanks to Eduard Bloch. It seems to be a very painful task, though,
to meet the Debian package guidelines, at least concerning kernel
modules, as far as I have observed.

I still don't think this would be useful for a compressed image.
