AzraelNightwalker: we should check out other distro's tools, namely:  
 * [[http://revisor.fedoraunity.org/|Fedora's Revisor]]
 * [[http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/KIWI|openSUSE's KIWI]]
and see how they work.

Also there are some existing Ubuntu tools:
 * [[http://uck.sourceforge.net/|UCK]] - Ubuntu Customization Kit
 * [[http://reconstructor.aperantis.com/|Reconstructor]] - Reconstructor
 * [[http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility|DRU]] - Disc Remastering Utility
 * [[http://wiki.debian.org/CDDT|Custom Debian Distribution Toolkit]] - work in progress
 * [[http://www.remastersys.klikit.org/|Remastersys]] - a tool for making a livecd from your Ubuntu installation
 * [[http://www.gnewsense.org/Builder/Builder|Builder]] - gNewSense builder script

Besides, we could also work with Debian on a common tool:
 * [[http://wiki.debian.org/CustomDebian|CDD]] - Custom Debian Distributions on Debian Wiki

There is a new spec that might supersede this: CustomisedIsoImageTools

Another new project: [[http://launchpad.net/unidistro|Unidistro]] - A framework to create and maintain a Debian/Ubuntu derivative distro
