I was planning the following. have a debian installation and work from scratch. decide upon the needed packages and install them in some directory which will be used for chrooting into. once chrooted into that directory, do the required changes and then create some kind of a system to be put on the pen drive. is that possible jtd?
yes. But u would require to do it from source. Which is a very major pain. So unless u are doing 10000++ installs and need to drop ram and flash sizes because of costs, it does not make sense. If u ask me a debian base install followed by cloop compression is good enough and should be able to fit into a 256MB pendrive. Also read http://linux.suramya.com/tutorials/Install_DFS/
