It might be useful to some that we'll have a 'standard' image for Debian
Live Buster. This is a base image with Debian standard that doesn't
contain any desktop environment. It ships with d-i with a module that
just unsquashes the squashfs image (just like the other live images), so
it's a really quick and convenient way to get a Debian system installed
on bare metal.
