Distroless container images are frequently used by many projects (notably the Kubernetes project uses them for almost all container images). Despite the name they are a derivative of Debian, however they lack built-in package manager support. It is however possible to add additional packages to them, see the fluent-bit images for an example of how this is usually done with multi-stage builds. Additionally they are already built in a fully reproducible fashion, so extending them with reproducible additional packages seems a good match to me.
Not sure what this all entails as I'm still getting my head around the tool, but it would be an interesting thing to consider supporting.
