FWIW,  I would very much value a review of other projects in this area,
in part to get a sense of the ecosphere, and partly to pick a best-of 
approach.

IMO having Debian in the name implies package management. 
dunno what that means int this context though.

Embed-Debian - exists, what are they doing ?
buildroot - a scripted build system
buildbot - another ..
probably others

That probably not what you wanted to spend your time doing,
but the ecosphere part might be important for niche-stability.
Maybe your user-base has some experience with these others ?
