I think you misunderstood: I don't want to bind Kolab to Debian _only_ but
would like to have Kolab released on an ISO file which is built up on
Debian (for example). This is just meant as a good start for beginners.

Of course the whole application should still be published in raw format
(tar.gz, rpm, deb, whatever...)

Maybe it is, but to me this still looks quite experimental:
