In theory your plan sounds great, but in practice all this
L-world is a mess and I think the time is not worth to be wasted
to maintain and develop yet another Linux distro from scratch.
What I have in mind is something similiar to the common
desktop/system everyone of us uses regularly and nothing special
- but out of the box and with live cd capabilities and ready to
install...

I also have in mind that I need this very urgently and that's
because I don't care so much about the base system - I know that
ubuntu sucks, but I can't change it.
