I have absolutely no knowledge of flash memory lifetime apart from what
I read on the web, but I suspect it may be longer than my remaining
span. So, apart from setting atime when partitioning with d-i and
leaving enough space for the electrons to move about in, I'd advise -
install and be damned. Flash memory is cheap; Debian is priceless.
