Maybe the "JeOS" approach is interesting for you:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_enough_operating_system

There are several implementations around, based on different distros.
I can only speak for the SLES JeOS (because I was kind of involved).
It's a very lean OS targetted for the appliance market, and there's the
appliance builder http://susestudio.com/ where you can put together your
own distro easily. I'm not sure if the studio can build installation and
update trees in the meantime, but you could do that using the openSUSE
build service via build.opensuse.org.
Despite the name it can build packages for other distros as well -- but
I'm not sure about images.

Cheers,
Jan
