This sounds like something I've been thinking about and heard other people talking about but wanting to do it with a Slackware type install. I have this idea that there could be a subset of Debian packages designed for a single user (home pc) work station. The user could choose this option in dselect and get that type of installation. Then it would be as simple as it is now to upgrade packages. Instead of making a personal Linux distro just create a Debian subset.
Just my 0.02 cents worth - instead of just lurking.
