Perhaps a stupid question, but you describe
"The Debian machine is having various configurations of Jessie
installed. Consider it a laboratory experiment. It can have multiple
installs in a day. It intentionally has *NO* internet connectivity. It
has a small partition set aside for preseed.cfg and miscellaneous
scripts."
It seems to me that it's awfully cumbersome doing "multiple installs in
a day" without a network connection. Sure, you can burn a minimal
system to a live-CD or DVD, but as soon as you want anything more (say
some of those tools for experimenting with networking), you need to pull
stuff from a repository, or it gets VERY cumbersome.
So... how are you doing all of those installs?
