Responding to my own question... I got some help from evand and alex_joni (thanks guys). They gave me some leads that led me to the cdimage project. I haven't actaully dug into the code here: <a href=http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/bzr/cdimage/mainline/README>http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/bzr/cdimage/mainline/README </a> but it looks like this is the piece of the puzzle i have been missing. cdimage seems to do some magic with germinate to generate the tasks that debian-cd uses to create the Ubuntu images. I'm going to pursue that trail for now. Let me know if I am making a bad assumption!

I'm working on a project with a non-profit called inveneo (www.inveneo.org) that delivers computing and networking to help remote and rural areas in the developing world. One of our goals is to create a custom d-i installer ISO for a xubuntu based system, and we are wanting to use the same tools that ubuntu/xubuntu uses in order to achieve this. It seems like debian-cd is the tool that creates the ISO, is that correct? I was wondering if there are any custom debian-cd tasks that you use because the version of debian-cd that I checked out of bzr doesn't seem equipped to handle building fesity, gutsy, hardy, etc. Rather the tasks are all geared to the debian releases etch, sid, lenny, etc. I would really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction on this.
