I could explain my idea better, but you got it wrong and improved it a lot
:-) instead of a different package set, you could just patch the install
disks to be able to look for the base.tgz somewhere else over NFS. So the

This is important. If this policy ever gets adopted, you have to note
somewhere that /var/lib/dpkg _must_ be NFS-mounted.
