Near clones of a Debian install



I have a laptop set aside for experimenting with Debian installs.
I've not yet defined my personal "optimal" install.
My nominally base install will be a reasonably standard CLI plus a personally preferred default set of utilities.

That base install *SHALL BE* on a read-only partition (e.g. sda5).
I wish to "almost clone" it to  sda5,  (e.g. sda6, sda7, sda8).
The above "almost" refers to whatever is required to run Debian as installed to that *explicit* partition. I will make various install/configuration choices to the "almost cloned" partitions. My then current "optimal" install will then be placed on either sda5 or sda 6 as I consider appropriate.

Does that make sense?
Suggestions and polite brick-brats accepted ;/
TIA
