It's still in the initial stages right now, but that could certainly be
very handy - maybe an external tool to automatically create the ISO?
Right now, it just spits out a tar file for debrestore to deal with -
containing one file with the package information, a directory for
conffiles, and stuff. I'm sure that could be burnt along with the ISO,
and then debrestore be automatically run ...

Mmm, good ideas you have. :)
