Speeding up live cd boot through optimizing file layout

I've noticed something strange with original Ubuntu Dapper LiveCD: when 
the system is up and running, I can't get the sound working. It says the 
sound deamon is dead.

*But* when I did plain remastering (with UCK), which only added all 
polish translations, removed all the other translations and sorted the 
files on CD by the first access, the sound on the remastered CD 
automagically showed up! I think this is thanks to the sorting; the bug 
is probably caused by missing the right time frame to access some files. 
If the bug has been seen also by other people, then we have a proof that 
even just simple CD mastering is error prone.

Which leads me to the question: where can one find building scripts for 
creating all Ubuntu ISO images? We have sources of programs and sources 
for building packages, so we should also have sources for building ISO's 
to be able to reproduce and improve things even here.
