System Installation

citylights

I would like to look into the viability of creating an Ubuntu server based installation utility for the iServer installation, set-up and configuration. 
 
From the existing linux installation documentation titled "installing-iserver-linux-unix" I can see in the architecture section that the iServer system has run-time dependencies on the following components: 
Servlet Container, File Server, Relational Database and various other modules including xvfb, ia32-libs, 
motif-clients and possibly a few others. 
 
Ideally I would like to establish a .deb meta package for iServer that pulls in and installs these third party components separately and then installs iServer on top of these base level modules. 
 
For a single host install this could be done via a .deb package definition. For a distributed iServer install we could define a set of <a class='bbc_url' href='https://juju.ubuntu.com/'>Juju</a> charms. 
 
comments appreciated.

The iserver package comes with a servlet container and a db for iserver metadata storage. Other modules for OS like motif, compat libraries need to be installed in the system before installing iServer. Is .deb like a ghost image that has base os with its dependencies installed? If .deb has the application also installed, it may not work since as part of the iserver installation, stamping to the configuration file is done that could have machine specific information like host name. If it is a simple instruction file to pull in depencies and then install iserver, that should work.
