iso makers in Debian-based distros


Do any of the major Debian-based distros come with ISO-making programs for remastering or backing up? I ask because I'm noticing that more and more popular distros have ISO makers, but every one I've noticed so far (I haven't looked exhaustively by any means) is not a Debian-based distro. Is the Debian family of distros behind on this, or have I simply not heard of the ISO makers we have? The question is not whether ISO-making programs for Debian exist, but whether Debian-based distros include them (which, you can gather, I think they should). The only ones I've heard of are Remastersys, which I'm not aware of being included on any distro, and the remastering script that Anticapitalista said was in development for antiX.

You can take a look at mondoarchive.

You can add them to your sources.list and then install with apt-get.

Been using them for years on Debian machines (and others) with no problems.

Here is a list of some that is by no means exhaustive. Ubuntu has UCK (Ubuntu Customisation Kit). You have already mentioned Remastersys there is also Reconstructor.

Not 100% sure if it is active or not, but worth at try.
It is active and very effective but the learning curve is very steep.
