Tom proposed the following answer:
The easy answer might be to start do respins with something that is
designed to make that easy and build up fast from there?

http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20090803#feature
http://www.slax.org/
http://www.slax.org/get_slax.php

I think openSUSE have created some studio thing worth trying because it's supposed to be quite easy?
https://build.opensuse.org/

Then perhaps a quick play with a LiveCd of Wolvix but a pre-1.1.0 release, back when they were based on Slax.  
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=wolvix
Then try a LiveCd of one of their newer ones which were rebased onto Slackware back in 1.1.0 (or was it 1.0.5?) leads nicely on to developing your own Slackware based distro (no need to publish it) or Arch or Gentoo based;
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=slackware
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=arch
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=gentoo

Or perhaps even move onto to a respin of something hefty like Fedora.
The tools used to create official Fedora live CDs (livecd-creator) and
traditional install images (pungi) are included in the repositories. For
an idea of how to use livecd-creator,
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days/Live_Image is the process
used to create Rawhide snapshot live CDs for Test Days. It's probably
not quite as straightforward as SUSE Studio, but it's not tough at all.

I imagine that you could race through some of the early stages of that quite quickly although building up a slackware, arch or gentoo system could take a few weeks.  If you really wanted to get seriously into digging right into all this then some of this book might help
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/
and this book might be what helps you fix this problem in your Ubuntu  respin?

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
