Building Light weight Distro

Don't know whether this is right category for this question. I request please consider it and advice correct cotegory if required. Here goes my question.

I want to build a distribution using debian/ubuntu. Currently i'm refering LinuxFromScratch.org, which is asking me a space for around 10gb. I know a distribution slitaz (SliTaz GNU/Linux (en)) which is merely of 35mb in size.
My question is how can we build such a light distribution when just kernel comes in 50+mb.

Please let me know about any resource that will guide me for building a light distribution. I want to have minimum number of package.
