I happen to have a USB-powered breastpocket 1 gibabyte mechanical drive,
which costs about US$50.
An old spare machine here has several USB ports, so I booted from a USB
flash stick and now am in the middle of installing Debian Jessie 8.2.0 to
the mechanical USB drive.
This is one of the most valuable techniques I have been shown.

I do not understand.
1. Would not that require the drive to be partitioned into an
"installation" partition and a "debianlive" partion?
2. And would it not be necessary that both partitions be bootable?
3. Or is the "installation" partition ruined when the boot loader is
installed?
