The command
 dd if=debian-live.img of=/dev/sda
does infact three things:
 * writing a bootsector,
 * writing a partition table and
 * writing the actual files into /dev/sda1

After that, you only should add partitions. And only without touching
the fresh created /dev/sda1.

The added partitions can be used for persistent storage.


In other words:  See /dev/sda1 as a (read-only) CDROM
and the other partitions as (write-able) disk space on the pendrive.
