It is quite possible that I could package Freedombone with guix or the
regular Debian system, and then just call menuconfig at the end to let
the user configure the system. It is after all just a bunch of commands.

This doesn't address the issue of not being a completely pure blend,
and that some of the systems installed aren't yet officially
packaged for Debian, although it is possible to have a fully
reproducible install which isn't majorly hard to set up (doesn't
require devops knowledge).
