I was asking about defining how to handle the packages pool part of building
the rootfs, like building of a partial mirror and integrating external
directories, including syslinux (or grub) splash images and so on.

I would like to discuss which technologies to use for the different
components:
Already discussed and decided are the use of:
- Squashfs as the rootfs compressor
- Unionfs for write capabilities on a read only media
- Debian as the OS :-)
Not decided yet:
- Bootloader: Syslinux or Grub ?
- Initramfs generation - (my duty, but feel free to suggest)
- Rootfs generation - cdeboostrap, cddt, other ways?
- Collection of packages creation (local mirror, remote one, apt-proxy,
reprepro just to mention some ideas)
- non packages files to be included (splash images, rootskel, out-of-rootfs
directories... )
Daniel: Could you also create a bzr (but svn would be fine too) repository for
our code (not so urgent, but I think it will be) ?
