It's not going to be a publicly available distribution so nothing to panic about distribution flood. It would be for the sake of our internal project. And Indeed, I would also like to work on Debian derivative. I hope this answers your question well.
Any other advice on achieving it with lesser "whys and whats" involved?

[...] My first question would be, why? Is there some specific need for yet another distribution. Instead, could you just make up and use a minimal subset of packages from an existing Linux distribution. In my opinion, Debian derivatives have a better packaging system than Redhat-based ones, and Debian has a larger repository than most other distributions. Redhat does handle some things better, such as kickstart for rolling out identical distributions across multiple machines.
