I'm afraid not, this is YA place where things are not documented very
well at all. There's an extra set of options to pass in to the
debian-cd build, basically. Look at
https://salsa.debian.org/images-team/setup/blob/master/buster/cronjob.daily
and compare the cases for INSTALLER_CD=C (i.e. netinst with firmware)
and INSTALLER_CD=2 (normal netinst without).
