Please know that I do understand, this is one of the many reasons why I and
others have worked to create and improve live-medium-install, see:

http://install.live-systems.org

And for the script see:

http://live.debian.net/gitweb/?p=live-tools.git;a=blob_plain;f=bin/live-medium-install;hb=refs/heads/debian-next

Also when the official jessie or later ISO images are built, I see no
reason why live-medium-install will not work with them with only minor
adjustments, such as the version number. I believe it would be very nice if
when official jessie images are released, that live-medium-install
(currently in debian-next of live-tools) could be shipped so users could
create an experience similar to what you want, which I imagine many others
as well would enjoy.

On a bit of a side note, when live-medium-install started it just booted
iso files, but with the wonderful live-boot 3x, you can stack partial
squashfs updates as service packs or custom settings. So now
live-medium-install uses the webboot files as a basis for the install.

Perhaps you would try live-medium-install and if you like, you assist to
improve with ideas or code patches so users such as you can have the
experience they desire.

Thanks.
