90% of what's needed to create a CD with a set of packages from Extras
that can be installed with system-cdinstaller[1] is actually there.

There exists this "jigdo", or "Jigsaw Download", project.

It allows to download "custom images". It requires a support
on a server side and I never really used it, so I cannot tell
how it works in practice, but it sounds interesting.
