Debian does use isolinux, and, therefore, the structure is very similar to a
RedHat installer. I suspect that a few little tweaks to rhmkiso are all that's
required, except for one perhaps significant difference. Debian uses devfs,
which may mean that the needed devices don't exist right away, i.e. as of the
moment that init is started. Perhaps a Debian and/or devfs knowledgeable person
can shed some light on what'd happen were brltty started before init within a
netinst image insofar as device availability and access is concerned.
