I was surprised that cp onto block devices really works as
needed for this purpose.
You could also do
  cat debian-8.2.0-amd64-BD-1.iso >/dev/sdc

But for old unixers no other tool than dd comes to the mind.

No. All is readily prepared by the debian-cd project.
Just copy the ISO plainly onto whole-disk device.

(If you can't get a large USB stick, try with DVD-1 or netinst CD.
 The boot sector and partition table stuff is the same.)


Have a nice day :)
