In the deriv I'm working on, I want to slightly change installation
behavior. I guess I need to modify the preseed.

Modify the artwork aka branding.

And add a couple of packages, whilst using Ubuntu's package mirror. I
hope to configure sources.list to prioritize my repo to override certain
Ubuntu packages. This way I can hope to meet certain requirements as the
need arises.

And comments if/how Launchpad can host derivatives? I'd rather use your
build system, than mine. ;)

Best wishes,
