The point here is that software installed on debian-live are Debian
packages installed with dpkg with no changes.
So the software is installed with dpkg and recorded in its database of
installed software which is one for the whole system (live or
otherwise) and cannot be plugged in in pieces (unless you are willing
to do a lot of processing on said database).
You can boot to ram without loading persistence snapshot all right.
You might add a hack to load a snapshot after the fact once the system
is already running. But a Debian system is not designed for that and
will not work well like that.
You can do this with other distribution that has package database
designed to be distributed across multiple files but not Debian. You
can make a Debian based distribution which has some additional
packaging suitable for plugging in packages at random. But neither
will be debian-live which is designed to just run pre-installed Debian
system as a live system.
