Yes it is possible, but in a round-about way. Previously I've created VMs that ended up with a disk file of what I wanted to to image. I then converted that disk image to a raw file format, and created an ISO. Lastly I would bootstrap an USB stick with Debian and that ISO file.
Using the included dd command, you would boot off the USB stick and issue the DD command to write the ISO file to your machine. Searching around, this guy does basically the same thing except he uses Alpine Linux and the ova format and his example writes it to a USB stick. You'd do the same thing, except you'd boot off of a standard Linux Live stick, copy the ISO to it, and tuned the same commands to image your machine. https://github.com/viralpoetry/packer-bare-metal -- This mailing list is governed under the HashiCorp Community Guidelines - https://www.hashicorp.com/community-guidelines.html.
