I am sure there are these possibilities, but honestly I cannot offer
many experiences therefor..

basically this would be debian sarge (aka testing)
I also think it would be important that it builds and runs there anyway?

it's probably a good idea to setup a test-environment for the target
install system anyway. so - if keeping with knoppix - we could start
with a fresh original knoppix hdinstall, enable remote access (ssh) and
use it as testing/development system to get it built and run on debian
(and to see what other issues might pop up in this constellation).
later this could be replaced by the actual modified install
(test)version..
