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.
