In my POV, the only ones that are _real_ CDDs for now are the
metapackages ones (med, bio, lex, ...) but I think Lenny will be much
better for it.

My concept of CDD requires only Debian archive packages. So every
distro that modifies packages (even a single one) isn't a CDD since it
isn't really a subset of Debian.
