There is ALFS, or Automated Linux From Scratch, which, although
I have never used it, is supposed to work well in building an
LFS system.

But only a step or two up from LFS is Gentoo.  ALFS does not
permit individual package configuration but Gentoo certainly
does -- and much more.

I suggested to the ALFS team to consider using using Gentoo
Portage as its automated build but received no response.
