Small debian based server distribution

The default installation of Debian, without X, is about 600-800 Megabytes.
I'm looking for a debian compatible distribution (so that I'll be able to
use debian's security updates, and enjoy the breadth of packages etc) which
will be small and will contain only the bare minimum for a functional server
(say, sshd and busybox). I wish it'll be as small as possible (say, ~100Mb).

I don't like DSL style distributions, as most are more geared towards the
desktop, and they have their own package management system.

I'm sure many others needed such a debian flavour, but I didn't find the
right search phrase for Google.

Thanks
