Yes but you can install a Debian with a business card and then you have

Except that OP is bandwidth-constrained.
Why would that be worse than a full-upgrade (dist-upgrade)?
I don't understand your question.
AFAICT the OP has two options to install sid: full-upgrade or install
from scratch (with the business-card image).
ISTM that in both cases the amount of data downloaded is similar, but
your remark seems to imply something else. I asked what would be the
difference, just in case I missed something.
OP indicates that he is bandwidth-constrained. Thus, any technique
that requires lots of network traffic is, by definition, not practical.

Scientists are people, too. IOW, they also "crave power, money,
respect, and influence, and they also fear for their jobs. Each
can be a healthy motivator, but each has the ability to turn a
good scientist into a bad one; and in some cases, they can turn
a good scientist into a charlatan."
