https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/ seems to include both d-i images and live images that have the non-free firmware included, if I'm reading correctly. My understanding is that the live images are primarily intended for the typical "live system" use-case descended from things like Knoppix (boot machine from USB stick or optical media; use machine with OS from RAM, USB stick or optical media; shut down machine; no trace is left), with permanent installation via Calamares being considered somewhat experimental. smcv
