Certainly.  Debian-installer uses debootstrap internally so that is a 
must.  The images Erik has used until now - http://box.redpill.dk/ - are 
also built with debootstrap (or rather the more flexible multistrap) 
using the framework I referenced in my previous post: 
https://salsa.debian.org/tinker-team/box

My point in above quote is which _medium_ you want to boot from 
initially on a Teres-I: MicroSD rather than USB (not which method of 
installation you want).

My work specifically explores how to avoid the tedious process of 
running debian-installer on the relatively slow Teres-I but reach _same_ 
result as if doing so - because in my experience running debootstrap 
directly can easily lead to a slightly broken system.
